No. Unless otherwise stated by the ability, text referring to a player discarding a card means a card that is discarded from their hand. Earthbind’s condition is not met by discarding a card from play (such as with a sacrifice effect) or discarding a card from the top of your deck, such as with Sound the Horns (COTA 015). The condition would be met by an effect like Yurk’s (AOA 068) that instructs its controller to discard from your hand.Source: Rulebook
My opponent played Earthbind (COTA 352) on one of my creatures last turn. The rules for sacrifice say I discard a creature from play. Would this satisfy the discard requirement for Earthbind?
