Official Rulings (7)
Players may not rearrange the cards in their graveyards. This is a little-known rule because new cards that care about graveyard order havenβt been printed in years.
The last thing that happens to a resolving instant or sorcery spell is that itβs put into its ownerβs graveyard. βExample: You cast Wrath of God. All creatures on the battlefield are destroyed. You arrange all the cards put into your graveyard this way in any order you want. The other players in the game do the same to the cards that are put into their graveyards. Then you put Wrath of God into your graveyard, on top of the other cards.
Say youβre the owner of both a permanent and an Aura thatβs attached to it. If both the permanent and the Aura are destroyed at the same time (by Akromaβs Vengeance, for example), you decide the order theyβre put into your graveyard. If just the enchanted permanent is destroyed, itβs put into your graveyard first. Then, after state-based actions are checked, the Aura (which is no longer attached to anything) is put into your graveyard on top of it.
If the creature is no longer on the battlefield when the ability resolves, you may still perform the action if you want.
When the ability resolves, you choose whether to sacrifice the creature or perform the other action. If you canβt perform the other action, then you must sacrifice the creature.
If an effect or rule puts two or more cards into the same graveyard at the same time, the owner of those cards may arrange them in any order.
The βtopβ card of your graveyard is the card that was put there most recently.
