Extraction

The 'Lobotomy' / extraction family: reach into an opponent's library (and often hand and graveyard) to pull specific cards out of the game entirely. Two shapes — by-name extraction that searches for 'cards with the same/that name' and exiles them (Surgical Extraction, Extirpate, Lost Legacy, Memoricide, Slaughter Games), and search-and-exile from a target player's library (Praetor's Grasp, Jester's Cap, Sadistic Sacrament). Premier answer to combo pieces and graveyard recursion because it strips redundancy, not just one copy. Distinct from graveyard.graveyard_hate, which exiles the graveyard wholesale with no search (Bojuka Bog, Rest in Peace); the two co-fire when a card does both.
