Hi there!

I want to use the ability of Karador, Ghost Chieftain to cast a creature card from my graveyard. I follow the steps described in CR 601.2a to d, then check that the spell is legal, determine the costs, and activate mana abilities. Am I now allowed to sacrifice Karador, Ghost Chieftain e. g. for Ashnod's Altar, or will this lead to an illegal action checked by CR 601.3*? Has this changed during the years?

Thank you!
