  1. “Put the cards on top of your library, then shuffle your library.” I realize you take a lackadaisical, grokkability-over-proper templating approach (like they do in R&D too), but that still makes me go 🤔

      If the complaint is “You don’t have to put the cards back on top of your library, since they never left your library.” then, yeah, I got to agree, it bothers me to. It just seemed like the best way to ensure people were performing the correct action in sequence. But it makes me go 🤔 as well.

      • My point is you’re shuffling the cards you wanted on top back into the library. You’d need to shuffle *before* you put them on top. Oh, hold on, you’re only shuffling the top 5 cards; that’s super counterintuitive. Shuffling should always mean the whole library imo. I think it say “randomize the top 5 cards of your library” to avoid mental shortcutting.

          Ah! You’re right. It should say ‘randomize’, like cards with Cascade. Or probably, “Then put the top five cards in your library in a random order.” I’ll take care of this tomorrow. Thanks!
