Sever the bloodline

Asked by draconicmage101 13 years ago

When I play Sever the Bloodline does that only exile the creatures in play or does it exile those creatures with that name for the whole game?

It only exiles the other creatures in play, rather than also bombing the graveyard, hand or library like Memoricide or Surgical Extraction does. So yeah, only creatures on the battlefield I'm afraid, but that doesn't stop it kicking ass...twice!

If an effect uses the name of a permanent type (like "creature", "land", etc.), but doesn't specify "card" or "spell", it only means permanents of that type on the battlefield. Take a look at Eradicate for an example of an effect that will rip cards with the same name out of zones other than the battlefield.
