Whenever an opponent shuffles his or her library, you may look at the top 2 cards of that library. If you do, you may exile one of them. Then put the rest on top of that library library in any order.



This card could be strong against fetchlands in general and even stronger against fetchland + top/brainstom shenanigans. Clearly it makes enlightened tutor and friends useless.

For best effect combine with mox diamond.

Thoughts?

This will most likely be the best format-breaking card since Leonin Arbiter.

Wait a minute... So you're saying....

Why would you want to play card disadvantage (which it is because it isn't a creature and serves no other purpose) for limited, situational reduction of the opponent's card quality?

Sounds like a horrible deal.

this would be playable if it worked on yourself too.

[Solar Ice]

Imo, it's way too conditional and situational to see play. Not to mention that it has no immediate effect on the game state (much like cards like Traumatize). Even if you're considering using it as SB material, there are plenty of other cards you can use instead and not clog up precious SB space. Like perm said, it would be a different matter altogether if it worked on yourself as well.

I don't know. I kind of like the idea of doing that. Especially if you have something that "helps" them shuffle that's also normally played. It would have to be something like a Top or something actually decent you could use on them, but only in that case. It's not worth building around, but the payoff for using it alongside an already decent engine would be worth it. I sure as hell won't go as far as playing Soldier of Fortune or jank like that, but if there's a card like Top that allows you to shuffle them more, I'd play it then.

Also pairs well with Psychogenic Probe, and that card is already better. How much play does Probe see play?
