play scornful egotist for its morph cost, then use burnt offering to sacrifice it for 8 mana in any combination of black or red mana.

I think you can, in response to it coming into play activate Burnt Offering.

In addition to cast Burnt Offering you need to sacrifice a creature.

When placing it on the stack. Offering goes above it. Sacrifice Shriekmaw. You obtain 5 mana in combination of choice. Then Shriekmaw triggers because it still came into play.

I vote yes, you can do that.

Plus, it's a mana source so it is allowed to be cast in the middle of an ability or effect. Such as Evoke. Mana sources resolve instantly.

I really doubt that, you can't sacrifice a creature already doomed to be sacrificed.

Yeah you can, for evoke you can't because it's in the middle of the effect. But burnt offering is a mana source so it can interrupt the ability to resolve

First off, yes most of the time, you can sacrifice a creature that is doomed to be sacrificed.  things that cause sacifices use the stack as well, so if my opponent targets my creature with a mercy killing, its going to be saced however I can sac it to burnt offering instead before the mercy killing resolve.  I'll get to how that applies here in a second

second: there is no point where a spell or ability can be interrupted once it starts resolving, even by mana sources.  if evoke worked the way you think it does (as one continous action from putting the creature to play through sacing it) then you would not have an opportunity to play the offering.

third: as i implied above evoke is not a continous action.  Evoke as a mechanic is made up of two abilitys a static one whey you can pay x cost to put the creature in play.  and a trigger ability which says "when this comes into play if evoke cost was paid sac it."  Since the sac part of evoke is a trigger it uses the stack, so before it resolves you have an opportunity to play the offering or any other instant , such as mercy killing, champion it, bounce it.  i actually us evoke creatures in my RW slide deck, pay them for their evoke, slide them before the trigger resolves, and when they come back into play they are a new creature that came into play without the evoke cost so they get to stick around

My question was whether you could target your creature for sacrificing for a Devouring Greed, then sacrifice it to something else.
