Exile and cards that are exiled with other cards.

I am making an Eldrazi themed EDH deck and looking for ways to get cards exiled for ammo. So I was wondering if cards that are exiled with another card can be used as Void Attendant ammo. Some cards that I was thinking are Pyxis of Pandemonium or Banisher Priest to place them in exile. Can Void Attendant or other Eldrazi's with the same ability take those cards out of exile?

vampirelazarus, Void Attendant takes cards out of exile and shove them in the graveyard for its ability

yes, you can put cards exiled into the graveyard regardless of the source. This gets super interesting with Leyline of the Void since you can just put the same card into the graveyard over and over again.

To elaborate: yes, this is exactly what they're indented to do. In fact, it is the only way it is possible, since Void Attendant does not have ingest or any other way to exile anything. I will definitely be playing around with some Ulamog's Nullifier and Pyxis of Pandemonium shenanigans. Hell, Flickerwisp any permanet, and use an Eldrazi Processor before the end of turn so they don't get that permanent back.

Rules questions belong in the Q&A, as stated by the warning banner above every new thread field. The system is currently bugged, so I can't move this. Please read more carefully next time.

Scavenging Ooze is going to be another good enabler for the Eldrazi Processors. But as has been stated, the short answer is yes. The times it would be "no" are in cases like Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver. You cannot use her -X to steal a creature from exile that was exiled by a source outide of Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver. Like you couldn't bring steal a Siege Rhino exiled from a Surgical Extraction using Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver's -X. But all that is mildly off topic given that you were curious specifically about the Eldrazi Processors. Just thought I would offer some extra clarification for any newer players.

@TheDuggernaught not to get any further off topic, but it is note worthy that the reason for that is because Ashiok's -X ability specifically states that it has to be a card exiled by Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver
Whereas something like Void Attendant doesn't specify how the card was exiled. It just cares about a card being in exile.
