@farkas70proof: yes, the ability would trigger. death is defined as being put into the graveyard from the battlefield, so if you sac'ed this guy you would get his soul.
love the card, love the flavor excellent white 1-drop. I know i sound like every other comment for this card, but really there's no other way to say it.
5/5

Let's see how many annoying Magic memes apply to this guy:
- Dies to Doom Blade!
- Dies to Storm Crow!
- Combos with Doubling Season!
Now that we've gotten that out of the way, this card is amazing in limited. Probably the best common 1-drop in the format.

In the fullness of time, this may come to be seen as the all round best magic card ever printed.
The card is it's own wee story dammit, a story told by the mechanic.
The unmatched flavour, the simple but profound mechanic, the art, the variety of tribal and combo uses, the fact that it is as comfortable in a commons kitchen table game as it is in competitive play there's nothing about it that's not perfect.

Team this guy up with Sword of Feast and Famine to form the proverbial DoomBlade.
Decks will die to it.
CawBlade can be proud of its progeny.

Pity is an odd emotion to feel when looking at Magic cards.

Someone asked " 'when it dies' does that trigger if it's saced?" The answer is yes. "When it dies" is triggered when a creature goes from the battlefield to the graveyard, whether it's destroyed by an effect, killed in combat, or sacrificed.
This is going to be a handy little card in my Human deck.

You're basically getting two 1/1's for {W}, what's not to love about that?

A fantastic card. Makes me wish at least one would show up in the drafts I've played and packs I've opened. Seriously. I've seen zero of these.
