Gameplay

Sorcery

Sacrifice any number of permanents you control, then draw that many cards. Plot {1}{B}{B} (You may pay {1}{B}{B} and exile this card from your hand. Cast it as a sorcery on a later turn without paying its mana cost. Plot only as a sorcery.)

Akul saw his Hellspur followers as little more than ammunition to be expended.

You can choose to sacrifice zero permanents. (That does sound an awful lot like pity, though.)

2024-04-12wotc

You sacrifice the permanents as part of the resolution of Pitiless Carnage. It isn’t an additional cost. If Pitiless Carnage is countered or never resolves, you won’t sacrifice anything.

2024-04-12wotc

If a plotted card has {X} in its mana cost, you must choose 0 as the value of X when casting it without paying its mana cost.
