  1. 2024-04-12 · wotc — You don’t choose a target for Ruthless Lawbringer’s ability at the time it triggers. Rather, a second “reflexive” ability triggers when you sacrifice another creature this way. You choose a target for that ability as it goes on the stack. Each player may respond to this triggered ability as normal. Notably, the triggered ability isn’t a crime, but the reflexive triggered ability potentially is.
