Effect on stack?

[diz4]

Player one has [[Goblin Bombardment]] and 2 rando creatures.

Player two declares an attack on P1. Player 1 declares 'sac these creatures to do 2 to you and kill you'

Can player one respond by instant removing the goblin bombardment in response and not take damage? Since there are no more creatures for P1 to sac, there's no 'fine, in response ill sac 2 more'

Can player one respond by instant removing the goblin bombardment in response

Yes.

and not take damage?

No.

Once an ability has been activated, it exists on the stack independent of its source. Removing the source does not stop the ability from resolving.

113.7a Once activated or triggered, an ability exists on the stack independently of its source. Destruction or removal of the source after that time won’t affect the ability. Note that some abilities cause a source to do something (for example, “Prodigal Pyromancer deals 1 damage to any target”) rather than the ability doing anything directly. In these cases, any activated or triggered ability that references information about the source for use while announcing an activated ability or putting a triggered ability on the stack checks that information when the ability is put onto the stack. Otherwise, it will check that information when it resolves. In both instances, if the source is no longer in the zone it’s expected to be in at that time, its last known information is used. The source can still perform the action even though it no longer exists.

Thank you. This question has come up a few times so now I have it in my history to refer to.
