Quick question.  If I control a Heartless Summoning and cast Disciple of Bolas, do I still get to sacrifice a creature for his ability, or do state based effects make him die before his ability triggers?  I'm curious to used this in a deck with him, heartless summoning, and polluted dead. Thanks

Disciple of Bolas will die as soon as it enters the battlefield (and before his trigger is put onto the stack)
but, his ability still triggered, so you can sacrifice a creature to draw cards (just not the Disciple, since that is gone. actually, rereading the ability you can't sacrifice him to the ability anyway :D)

It enters the battlefield, so the triggered ability still happens.
