Hello, We were playing a Planechase game, where Jund  was the current plane. My opponent cast Savra, Queen of the Golgari  , giving her devour 5. As she enter the battlefield, he sacrifices 2 black and green creatures. Does it trigger the abilities of Savra ? Thanks in advance !

no, Savras ability only works on the battlefield
Devour happens before she enters, therefor it will not trigger

Savra's triggers won't trigger.
She enters as the others are leaving as part of the same event.
Her triggers are leaves the field triggers so her ability has to be on the field prior to the event to see the event and it's not.

Does it means that if I sacrifice Savra (to pay for an ability), her abilities will trigger ?
