As an additional cost to cast this spell, sacrifice a creature.
You gain life equal to the sacrificed creature's toughness. Destroy target creature an opponent controls.
「我已亲眼见过拉尼卡的命运。相信我，我这是为你好。」牺牲一个生物，以作为施放此咒语的额外费用。 你获得等同于所牺牲生物之防御力的生命。消灭目标由对手操控的生物。
If the target creature is an illegal target by the time Severed Strands tries to resolve, the spell doesn't resolve. You don't gain life.
If the target creature is a legal target but can't be destroyed, most likely because it has indestructible, you still gain life.
You must sacrifice exactly one creature to cast this spell; you can't cast it without sacrificing a creature, and you can't sacrifice additional creatures.
The amount of life gained is equal to the sacrificed creature's toughness as it last existed on the battlefield.
Legality follows the dated Scryfall catalog snapshot.
