## Official Rulings
- *(2019-05-03)* If a second God-Eternal Bontu enters the battlefield under your control, you'll put one into your graveyard before you can sacrifice anything to the new Bontu's triggered ability.
- *(2019-05-03)* If any abilities trigger as you sacrifice other permanents, those abilities won't be put onto the stack until after you've drawn cards.
- *(2019-05-03)* As Bontu's first triggered ability resolves, you may choose to sacrifice zero other permanents.
