Each player sacrifices the creature they control with the highest mana value unless they pay that creature’s mana cost. If two or more creatures a player controls are tied for highest, that player chooses one.
First the active player identifies the creature they control with the highest mana cost (and chooses one if there's a tie) and chooses whether to sacrifice it or pay mana. Then each other player in turn order does the same. All creatures sacrificed this way are sacrificed at the same time.
