AI DraftFeb 26, 2026

Bartolomé del Presidio + Luminous Broodmoth

Overview
If you activate Bartolomé del Presidio’s sacrifice ability and sacrifice a creature without flying, that creature is moved to the graveyard as part of the sacrifice , which causes Luminous Broodmoth’s triggered ability to trigger and (when that trigger resolves) return the creature to the battlefield with a flying counter on it (Broodmoth’s ruling: it still triggers even if Broodmoth died at the same time) (Ruling [2020-04-17]).
Step 1
You activate Bartolomé del Presidio’s ability, which requires you to sacrifice another creature or artifact as part of paying the cost; you choose and sacrifice a creature you control and move it from the battlefield to your graveyard (sacrifice is moving the permanent to the graveyard) .
Step 2
Because the creature was put into the graveyard from the battlefield, Luminous Broodmoth sees a creature you control without flying die and its triggered ability triggers (assuming the creature didn’t have flying and no replacement effects prevented it from being put into the graveyard).
Step 3
Bartolomé’s activated ability then resolves and puts a +1/+1 counter on Bartolomé del Presidio.
Step 4
When Luminous Broodmoth’s triggered ability resolves, it returns the sacrificed creature to the battlefield under its owner’s control and it enters with a flying counter on it. If Broodmoth died at the same time as the sacrificed creature, the trigger still occurs (Ruling [2020-04-17]).
Resolution
Sacrificing another creature to pay Bartolomé del Presidio’s cost moves the sacrificed creature to the graveyard as a sacrifice ; if that creature didn’t have flying, Luminous Broodmoth’s trigger will trigger and later return that creature to the battlefield with a flying counter on it (Ruling [2020-04-17]).
