    0: Reveal the top card of your library and put it into your hand. Sarkhan deals damage to himself equal to that card's mana value. −2: Target creature's controller sacrifices it, then that player creates a 5/5 red Dragon creature token with flying. −4: Each Dragon creature you control deals damage equal to its power to target player or planeswalker.

    Once the first ability starts to resolve and you reveal the top card of your library (and see how much damage Sarkhan the Mad deals to himself), it's too late to respond.

    Unlike previous planeswalkers, Sarkhan the Mad has no way to raise his loyalty.

    If the targeted creature is a legal target by the time the second ability resolves but its controller can't sacrifice it (due to Tajuru Preserver, perhaps), the ability continues to resolve. That player gets a Dragon token.
