Rulings
- 2014-11-07
The delayed triggered ability that makes you sacrifice the creatures will trigger only once. If you don’t sacrifice one or more of those creatures at that time (perhaps because another player gained control of them), the ability won’t try to make you sacrifice them on future turns.
