I control Butcher of Malakir and Sakura-Tribe Elder and my opponent controls no creatures. They cast Duplicant targeting my Butcher of Malakir. If I react by sacrificing Sakura-Tribe Elder, does he has to sacrifice Duplicant?

          Here is how it goes down:



          Your opponent cats Duplicant, putting it on the stack. You both let it resolve, so it enters the battlefield. The Duplicant's ability triggers, and is put on stack, targeting the Butcher.



          Before the ability resolves, you sacrifice the tribe-elder and put its ability on the stack. The Butcher triggers, and its ability is put on stack. The stack now looks like this, from top to bottom:



          • Butcher's ability

          • Tribe-elder's ability

          • Duplicant's ability

          Assuming no more interference, the Butcher's ability will pop off the stack first, requiring your opponent to sacrifice a creature. Then you get to search your library for a land and put it into play. Then the Butcher is exiled from the Duplicant's ability (which is unaffected by the Duplicant's fate).
