Extirpate rulings

2021-03-19
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.
2021-03-19
You don't have to find and exile cards with the same name as the target card in its owner's hand or library if you don't want to, but you do have to exile the cards from the player's graveyard.
2021-03-19
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.
2021-03-19
Players may turn face-down creatures face up while a spell with split second is on the stack.
2021-03-19
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.
2021-03-19
Casting a spell with split second won't affect spells and abilities that are already on the stack.
2021-03-19
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.
2021-03-19
After a spell with split second resolves (or otherwise leaves the stack), players may again cast spells and activate abilities before the next object on the stack resolves.

Split second Rule 702.61

Split second is a static ability that functions only while the spell with split second is on the stack. “Split second” means “As long as this spell is on the stack, players can’t cast other spells or activate abilities that aren’t mana abilities.”

Players may activate mana abilities and take special actions while a spell with split second is on the stack. Triggered abilities trigger and are put on the stack as normal while a spell with split second is on the stack.

Multiple instances of split second on the same spell are redundant.
