NO!!!! when you sacrifice a creature it is considered buried, and buried creatures can not be regenerated.

By definition, the Sacrifice effect cannot be regenerated. It cannot be prevented from going to the graveyard in any way. Even indestructible permanents go to the graveyard when sacrificed (Darksteel).

Sacrifice means to take your own creature to the graveyard; regeneration prevents your creature from being destroyed; you didn't destroy your creature, so it can't be regenerated.

I say yes it can. What my friends tell me is that you have to play the effect before it gets destroyed. but then again my friends are stupid...

OMG!!!....for all the people who think that you can't regenerate sac'dcreatures, thank you...for those that think you can, read the rule book, talk to a judge, or seek mental help......by the way you CAN'T regenerate a sac'dcreature.

Ok, to set the record straight... Regeneration only prevents the DESTRUCTION of a permanent. A spell that says "destroy <something>" can be regenerated from. Creatures with lethal damage on them are destroyed, and can be regenerated from. A sacrifice is NOT destruction and can NOT be regenerated from.
