Would be cooler if it was "put into play."....too high of a cost. I would like to have one though just for the sake of it.

not even kidding, love this card

This reminds me of when cards were awesome. Whether it's any GOOD or not is beside the point.

This is pretty good in a tribal deck with a lot of mana, or an artifact deck. You could pull your finishers and leave them there until needed... and if you want to avoid losing all your good cards, it could act as a delayed tutor (for 8 total) for x cards (one if you don't want to exile any others). I use it in a casual Elf deck to get elves and Coat of Arms.

I had this card...gave it to a good friend as part of my collection when I want to college. But I'm going to get it back from him, to build a deck around. Should be fun.

I traded a lightning bolt for this, when I first got it though. The bolt may have had more functionality...but this was too good a trade flavor-wise to pass up. <3

one "destroy target artifact" card pwned all removed cards and artifact

The trick is knowing how many good cards to snag. Going for broke is a n00b tech.

It's beautiful... 5 stars for art and flavour.

Add Goblin Charbelcher in the mix with 4 of each of the artifact land and you could potentially annihilate someone. That way you can make sure there are no land in the deck then... Bye Bye

Combo with Mycosynth Lattice for a four-mana Mana Severance.

@MasterOfBearLore

No. Mycosynth Lattice only turns permanents into artifacts. Permanents are objects that exist on the battlefield. The cards exiled by Mana Severance are cards, not permanents, because they do not exist on the battlefield. Mycosynth Lattice will not turn those land cards into artifact cards.

I think that the real use of this card is thinning your deck. For four mana you can take your deck down to nothing but lands and combos. In essence you've just gotten away with building a thirty card deck that's going to play a LOT faster than your oponents sixty card one.

Play a lot of mana rocks in EDH? Don't wanna draw them after turn 5? Now you don't have to.

Or maybe if all your lands were artifact lands...

A little risky, a little pricey, but completely playable. Especially in green, which doesn't have a whole bunch of tutors by itself. I'd imagine this could find use in a casual green ramp/combo deck or something.

Only use lands, creatures, and artifacts and need to choose one spell use mana severance.
Just get an opening hand with it, laboratory maniac, this card, and 4 lands.
Turn 1 land
Turn 2 island Mana Severance
Turn 3 land Laboratory maniac
Turn 4 This card Remove all other cards from your deck
Turn five laugh like a madman
If you know that your opponent has no removal it is a cool way to win if your deck can float with these cards in it and combo them in other ways.
Laboratory manic is already broken
This is a artifact version of Diabolic Revelation of sorts ( Just grab the cards that any one of which will make an evil combo and overkill upon collaboration, aka any broken artifact)
And mana severance just says hey i know you don't need lands and drawing them is a bit of a Johnny block to you lets just get those out of the way.
Plus i think there is a card that lets you play em from exile anyway.

A very fun card I used to love running. Fit well into a red artifact deck and worked out well. The whole "return an artifact AT RANDOM" thing is a bit funky, but otherwise a very cool and powerful card.

In the lore, this required sacrificing an entire plane to power? It costs ! Geez, Urza sucks at mana efficiency.

If you pull cards with it, and remove them from the game, and then Skyship Weatherlight gets put in a graveyard, but then is brought back on the battlefield later on
, can you play the exiled cards from the first time it was cast
