Can I respond to Bloodthirst triggers in MTG?
Yes, you can respond to Bloodthirst triggers in Magic The Gathering. Bloodthirst is an ability that checks if an opponent was dealt damage this turn, and if so, the creature enters the battlefield with that many +1/+1 counters. It's a triggered ability, so when it goes on the stack, you can definitely respond to it with instants or activated abilities before the Bloodthirst creature gets its counters.

Absolutely! Bloodthirst triggers are fair game for responses. Crack open an instant spell or fire off an activated ability while that trigger's chilling on the stack. It's like saying 'Hold on, not so fast!' to your opponent's creature.
Yup, but why bother? Most of the time, you're better off saving your spells for bigger threats. Just let it resolve and deal with the creature later.
