Throw this down, use magnetic theft to attach it to your opponents Eldrazi or whatever creature that just needs to die, then shatter it or use whatever card you want to destroy Grafted Exoskeleton. Bye-bye. Some Eldrazi will be shuffled back in, I know. But it's better than them being on the battlefield.

(Thanks to everyone for their help.)

Seal of Doom is another option ;)

For sure. The only one it wouldn't work with is Emrakul. This would take out Emrakul.

Grafted Wargear is cheaper.

Seal of Doom works on Emrakul. He only has protection from coloured SPELLS, not abilities of coloured permanents (same reason why Journey to Nowhere works on Emrakul)

Magnetic Theft is a coloured spell, for instance, and cannot target Emrakul.

---

Which is all an aside as this combo does not work anyway. You can never sacrifice an opponent's permanents, so even if you attach the equipment and destroy it (or equip it to one of your own creatures) the 'sacrifice' triggered ability will do nothing.

You need to add something like Bazaar Trader or Donate, and give control of the equipment to the player that controls the creature. Then they will be able to sacrifice the creature.

Alright, if it's Emrakul that needs to be killed, then throw in Bazaar Trader to keep it red. To me, I read Magnetic Theft as targeting the equipment, not Emrakul (or whatever creature). Calm down, Zark.

Because magnetic thief is a coloured spell which targets a creature, it could not be used against Emrakul.
