- If you sacrifice Popular Egotist, its last ability will trigger. If you sacrifice other permanents at the same time, its last ability will trigger for each of those permanents as well.
- If you sacrifice a permanent as part of casting a spell or activating an ability, Popular Egotist's last ability will resolve before that spell or ability. It will resolve even if that spell or ability is countered.
