About Extirpate
Extirpate, Instant, designed by Jon Foster first released in Feb, 2007 in the set Planar Chaos and was printed exactly in 3 different ways.
Extirpate is a powerful card that can be beneficial in a deck focused on graveyard interaction or disrupting combo strategies, especially in formats like Modern or Legacy where there are key combo pieces that can be targeted. While Extirpate is a solid choice, some decks may prefer Surgical Extraction for its Phyrexian mana cost flexibility or Leyline of the Void for broader graveyard hate. However, Extirpate can still see play in sideboards or specific metagames where its unique abilities are particularly effective.
Rules
03/19/21
Because the first step of casting a spell is to move it from the zone it’s in, Extirpate can’t be used to stop a spell with flashback from being cast after its controller has announced that they’re casting it.
03/19/21
If the resolution of a triggered ability involves casting a spell, that spell can’t be cast if a spell with split second is on the stack.
03/19/21
Players still get priority while a card with split second is on the stack; their options are just limited to mana abilities and certain special actions.
03/19/21
Split second doesn’t stop triggered abilities from triggering, such as that of Chalice of the Void. If one does, its controller puts it on the stack and chooses targets for it, if any. Those abilities will resolve as normal.
06/07/13
Casting a spell with split second won’t affect spells and abilities that are already on the stack.
06/07/13
Players still get priority while a card with split second is on the stack.

Split second doesn’t prevent triggered abilities from triggering. If one does, its controller puts it on the stack and chooses targets for it, if any. Those abilities will resolve as normal.
