Mercy Killing

Instant, 2{G/W} (3)

Target creature's controller sacrifices it, then puts X 1/1 green and white Elf Warrior creature tokens onto the battlefield, where X is that creature's power.

"We will give you the peace you seek, though you may not yet know you seek it."

• 5/1/2008: You target the creature that will be sacrificed when you cast Mercy Killing, then its controller (who may or may not be you) sacrifices it when Mercy Killing resolves. Because this is a sacrifice, neither regeneration nor indestructibility will save the creature.
