Rulings
- March 19, 2021 — 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.
- March 19, 2021 — 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.
- March 19, 2021 — 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.
- March 19, 2021 — Players may turn face-down creatures face up while a spell with split second is on the stack.
- March 19, 2021 — 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.
- March 19, 2021 — Casting a spell with split second won't affect spells and abilities that are already on the stack.
- March 19, 2021 — 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.
- March 19, 2021 — 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.
