syr ginger
While Syr Ginger is in play, game does not give priority to sacrifice treasure in response to removal.
In scenario below, during opponents pre-combat main phase they cast Flick a Coin targeting Syr Ginger. I am not auto-passing, have a treasure in play, and have untapped lands. I do not have any instants in hand. Flick a coin was cast and resolved without receiving priority, ultimately resulting in a game loss during an event.

Same thing happened to me with Rat Out. I had two lands in hand, Syr Ginger had summoning sickness, opponent cast Rat Out on it while I had a Treasure Token. The Arena client auto yielded so I couldn't respond to Rat Out by sacrificing the token to save Syr Ginger.

Syr Ginger loses the ability to sack for life when targeted in combat.
In my last Draft I had Syr Ginger in play and blocked to kill opposing creature. My opponent targeted him with the white removal that creates a 1/1. I sacked my treasure to pump him and pay for the sack cost to gain 4 life but even after tapping my land to have two floating mana I could not activate his sac ability with the removal on the stack. IIRC I could sack him until I cracked the treasure.
I went on to lose game…
