Shuffle

Keywords · beginner

To shuffle a library means to randomize the order of its cards.

How it works

• Shuffling happens after most library searches, and as a direct instruction from many effects.
• After a shuffle, no player knows the order of the cards.

Rules notes

• If you put a card on top of your library and then shuffle, that card is randomized into the deck.
• An effect that says "search, then shuffle" requires the shuffle even if you found nothing.
• Effects that let you look at or arrange the top of your library lose track of those cards once the library is shuffled.
