If you sacrifice a permanent as part of a spell or activated ability's cost, Korvold's last ability will resolve before that spell or ability. - 2019-10-04 · Wizards of the Coast
If you sacrifice Korvold, its last ability triggers. You won't put a +1/+1 counter on anything, but you'll draw a card. - 2019-10-04 · Wizards of the Coast
A legendary permanent that is put into a graveyard because of the "legend rule" isn't sacrificed. - 2019-10-04 · Wizards of the Coast
Korvold's last ability is a triggered ability, not an activated ability. It doesn't allow you to sacrifice a permanent whenever you want; rather, you need some other way of sacrificing permanents, such as Korvold's first triggered ability. - 2019-10-04 · Wizards of the Coast
If you somehow control no other permanents, you can attack with Korvold. You won't sacrifice anything, and there's no penalty for being unable to do so.
