Can I sac a Vampire Hexmage to trigger Highborn's ability if there are no permanents in play which have counters on them?
Team GIANCOLI!
Yes.Originally Posted by Genericcactus
The requirements for Vampire Hexmage are that you have a target permanent. Any permanent would do, even the Vampire Hexmage. On resolution, it will remove all the counters from that target permanent, whether there's 0 counters or 100 counters.
This is different than if it said, "Remove all counters from target permanent with counters on it." Then you would need to target a permanent with counters on it.
The hexmage can't target itself because it is sacrificed first.
Edit: Nevermind

This is incorrect. You choose targets before you pay costs.
100% confirmed. That's also why Wasteland can destroy itself.
The seven cardinal sins of Legacy:
1. Discuss the unbanning ofLand TaxEarthcraft.
2. Argue that banning Force of Will would make the format healthier.
3. Play Brainstorm without Fetchlands.
4. Stifle Standstill.
5. Think that Gaea's Blessing will make you Solidarity-proof.
6. Pass priority after playing Infernal Tutor.
7. Fail to playtest against Nourishing Lich (coZ iT wIlL gEt U!).
Which is a play btw I would only do at a normal tournament and not on MWS, since people will call you a cheater for doing that.
