does Elixir of Immortality hit the grave when you use it?

Asked by Eric1827 11 years ago

Wondering If I can use Extirpate as an reaction to Elixir of Immortality when and if it hits the grave through it's activated ability?

No, as part of the resolution of the elixir's ability, you shuffle it and your graveyard into your library. You never put it into the graveyard in any way during the resolution. It goes from the battlefield directly into the library.

Is there even any text on Elixir of Immortality that suggests that it might go to the graveyard?

It looks like it explicitly tells you to shuffle it into your library.

I imagine thematically, it feels like you are sacrificing it to pop it open and drink it. I can see why people might just assume there was a sacrifice component to it.
