Even though the creature will end up in the graveyard later on, it's too late to be targeted with the ability. You won't be able to sacrifice and return the same creature with the Guildmage's ability.

A: You cannot. We choose targets for the ability before costs are paid. When you're choosing the target for the ability, the creature you want to sacrifice is still on the battlefield, not in the graveyard, and can't be chosen.

It is hard. And stressful. But some day, I'll break through and get there.

When I transferred a bunch of files from my old computer to my new computer, I found all my old music in one of the folders. So now Spotify has a playlist with 2594 tracks on it (and I'm slowly trying to prune it).

When the trigger resolves, you'll exile the bottom X cards of your library (whatever those cards happen to be), so if you respond to that trigger by activating the Navigator's ability, it will be put on the bottom of your library, and then you'll exile it to the Anchor's trigger when it resolves.

A: Yep, you can do that. Normally, the cards you scry to the bottom are going to be the cards that The Temporal Anchor will exile to its triggered ability. But since it's a triggered ability, you can respond to that trigger by putting different cards on the bottom of your library.

My car is from 1995, and was purchased just before I moved out here 20 years ago. The alarm clock next to my bed is the same one I've had since early high school.

Hmm, I have a couple of those cards (Tormod, Island, Woodland Cemetery, and Master Emerald Shine). I'll have to figure out the scanner at work.

Then you get a second trigger when the Necropotence trigger resolves and exiles the discarded creature card from your graveyard, since a creature card left your graveyard. That's a total of two Syr Konrad triggers.

A: You get two triggers. You get one trigger when you discard the creature card, since a creature card went to your graveyard from anywhere other than the battlefield.
