Deadly Cover-Up 
Sorcery
As an additional cost to cast this spell, you may collect evidence 6.
Destroy all creatures. If evidence was collected, exile a card from an opponent's graveyard. Then search its owner's graveyard, hand, and library for any number of cards with that name and exile them. That player shuffles, then draws a card for each card exiled from their hand this way.

Rulings (3)
- If you can't exile enough cards to meet or exceed the required mana value, you can't choose to collect evidence at all.
- Unlike many other effects of this kind, Deadly Cover-Up allows its controller to exile a basic land.
- Once you've announced that you're casting a spell, players can't take actions until you've finished doing so. Notably, opponents can't try to remove cards from your graveyard to stop you from collecting evidence.
