Crabomination
{4}{B}{B} · Creature — Crab Demon
Emerge from artifact {5}{B}{B} (You may cast this spell by sacrificing an artifact and paying the emerge cost reduced by that artifact's mana value.) When this creature enters, target opponent exiles the top card of their library, a card at random from their graveyard, and a card at random from their hand. You may cast a spell from among cards exiled this way without paying its mana cost.

Jun 7, 2024 · The artifact chosen to be sacrificed is still on the battlefield up through the time that you activate mana abilities. Its abilities may affect the spell's cost, be activated to generate mana, and so on. However, if it has an ability that triggers when a spell is cast, it will have been sacrificed before that ability can trigger.
