Exploit is a keyword ability introduced in Dragons of Tarkir, where it is the signature ability of the blue-black Silumgar clan. [2] When a creature with exploit enters the battlefield, the player may sacrifice a creature he or she controls.

Rules

From the Comprehensive Rules (June 7, 2024—Modern Horizons 3)

  • 702.110. Exploit
    • 702.110a Exploit is a triggered ability. “Exploit” means “When this creature enters the battlefield, you may sacrifice a creature.”
    • 702.110b A creature with exploit “exploits a creature” when the controller of the exploit ability sacrifices a creature as that ability resolves.

From the glossary of the Comprehensive Rules (June 7, 2024—Modern Horizons 3)

Exploit
A keyword ability that lets you sacrifice a creature for a benefit. See rule 702.110, “Exploit.”

Rulings

  • You choose whether to sacrifice a creature and which creature to sacrifice as the exploit ability resolves.
  • You can sacrifice the creature with exploit if it’s still on the battlefield. This will cause its other ability to trigger.
  • You can’t sacrifice more than one creature to any one exploit ability.
  • The extra ability doesn't trigger if the player sacrificed a creature for any other reason, including the exploit ability of a different creature.
  • A player can sacrifice any creature he or she controls when the exploit ability resolves, including the creature with exploit itself.
  • You don't have to sacrifice a creature if you don't want to.
