Activating Departed Deckhand's last ability after a creature has become blocked by a non-Spirit creature won't cause that creature to become unblocked.
wotc13 Jul 2018
If the spell that targets Departed Deckhand has no other targets, it won't resolve (because it no longer has a legal target after Departed Deckhand is sacrificed).
wotc13 Jul 2018
You'll sacrifice Departed Deckhand even if you counter the spell that targets it.
