I don't know if this works.
Does Mana severance and Selective memory targets you?

If so, you can destroy your opponent's deck.

( using mana severance or selective memory with Swerve )

Unfortunately this doesn't work. They would have to say "target player" or something like that.

No, it does not work. "your library" is not a target which might be changed. See the following rules.

114.1. Some spells and abilities require their controller to choose one or more targets for them. The targets are object(s), player(s), and/or zone(s) the spell or ability will affect. These targets are declared as part of the process of putting the spell or ability on the stack. The targets can't be changed except by another spell or ability that explicitly says it can do so.

114.1a An instant or sorcery spell is targeted if its spell ability identifies something it will affect by using the phrase "target [something]," where the "something" is a phrase that describes an object, player, or zone. The target(s) are chosen as the spell is cast; see rule 601.2c. (If an activated or triggered ability of an instant or sorcery uses the word target, that ability is targeted, but the spell is not.)
Example: A sorcery card has the ability "When you cycle this card, target creature gets -1/-1 until end of turn." This triggered ability is targeted, but that doesn't make the card it's on targeted.

114.9a Just because an object or player is being affected by a spell or ability doesn't make that object or player a target of that spell or ability. Unless that object or player is identified by the word "target" in the text of that spell or ability, or the rule for that keyword ability, it's not a target.

114.9b In particular, the word "you" in an object's text doesn't indicate a target.

ok, thank you, the 114.9 b is enough....

Can I delete this combo?

Sadly, we cannot delete our own combos... I've got a few I'd like to delete.

and even if it did work, the choice of how many cards to exile is decided by the target aka the opponent who will probably choose none

If you wanted this to work, you'd need Hive Mind and Mindslaver

@ thecaptain:

hive mind wouldn't work either because they still choose the number and neither would mindslaver b/c the severance and memory are sorceries so u couldn't cast them on the turn you control them. for your idea to work, leyline of anticipation or teferi, mage of zhalfir or something like that is also necessary.

How about you take control of their turn?

If the game, you want to adjourn.
