Sacrifice, often abbreviated as Sac, is a keyword action. It means to move a permanent you control to its owner’s graveyard.
Description
Sacrificing or Saccing is purposely or forcefully removing a permanent from play. This can be due to an effect on the card itself, the effect of another permanent already in play, coming into or leaving play or a spell such as a instant or sorcery. A sacrificed permanent cannot be regenerated. Even though the card Sacrifice was in Alpha, the keyword action of sacrifice didn't show up until Revised Edition. [1]
