    Bearer of Silence's triggered ability targets only the player, not any creature. For example, the player may sacrifice a creature with hexproof.

  • WotCJan 22, 2016

    Players can respond to the triggered ability, but once it starts resolving and you decide whether to pay {1}{C}, it's too late for anyone to respond.
