Extirpate 
Instant
Split second (As long as this spell is on the stack, players can't cast spells or activate abilities that aren't mana abilities.)
Choose target card in a graveyard other than a basic land card. Search its owner's graveyard, hand, and library for all cards with the same name as that card and exile them. Then that player shuffles.

Rulings
Because the first step of casting a spell is to move it from the zone it's in, Extirpate can't be used to stop a spell with flashback from being cast after its controller has announced that they're casting it.

You don't have to find and exile cards with the same name as the target card in its owner's hand or library if you don't want to, but you do have to exile the cards from the player's graveyard.

Players still get priority while a card with split second is on the stack; their options are just limited to mana abilities and certain special actions.
2021-03-19 • wotc
Players may turn face-down creatures face up while a spell with split second is on the stack.
2021-03-19 • wotc
Split second doesn't stop triggered abilities from triggering, such as that of Chalice of the Void. If one does, its controller puts it on the stack and chooses targets for it, if any. Those abilities will resolve as normal.
2021-03-19 • wotc
Casting a spell with split second won't affect spells and abilities that are already on the stack.
2021-03-19 • wotc
If the resolution of a triggered ability involves casting a spell, that spell can't be cast if a spell with split second is on the stack.
2021-03-19 • wotc
After a spell with split second resolves (or otherwise leaves the stack), players may again cast spells and activate abilities before the next object on the stack resolves.
