The targeted opponent chooses which of their attacking creatures to sacrifice, not you.

Untapping an attacking creature doesn’t cause it to be removed from combat.

7/13/2016
You choose all of your modes at once. You can’t wait to perform one mode’s actions and then decide to choose more modes.

7/13/2016
You can’t choose any one mode multiple times.

7/13/2016
If two of the chosen modes of an escalate spell target a creature, you may choose the same creature for each mode’s target, or choose different creatures. The same is true if the chosen modes target a player (or opponent).

7/13/2016
If one target of an escalate spell becomes illegal, the other targets will still be affected. If all of the targets become illegal, the spell won’t resolve.

7/13/2016
Effects that reduce the cost of spells reduce the total cost, including any escalate costs added.

7/13/2016
If an effect allows you to cast a spell that has escalate without paying its mana cost, you pay escalate costs for that spell if you choose more than one mode.

7/13/2016
Additional costs don’t affect a spell’s converted mana cost.
