What it does
Crackling Doom deals 2 damage to each opponent. Each opponent sacrifices a creature with the greatest power among creatures that player controls.
Rulings
4 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.
- 2014-09-20
In a multiplayer game, each opponent, starting with the active player and proceeding in turn order, chooses which creature they will sacrifice and then all creatures are sacrificed at the same time. Each successive player will know what the players before them chose to sacrifice.
- 2014-09-20
Crackling Doom doesn't target any player or creature. For example, a creature with protection from black could be sacrificed.
- 2014-09-20
The sacrifice is not dependent on the damage being dealt. It doesn't matter if that damage is prevented or redirected.
- 2014-09-20
If a player controls two or more creatures tied for the greatest power among creatures they control, that player chooses one of them to sacrifice.
Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.
