You can't fool me, Deglamer!

Side note: This card is strictly worse since you can't use it in Pauper.

Now you can use two shuffling Naturalizes in your EDH decks!

Indestructible enchantment creatures? No problem.

For best results, use right after the enemy has just decided to keep a card a scry effect revealed.

I like deglamer a lot in Commander a lot, since it deals with indestructible stuff as well as regeneration or recursion tricks. This is basically the same, aside from the rarity. In case of doubt I'd stick with Deglamer in Commander, due to the art being more interesting.

Why do they bother phrasing the text on a straightforward card in a way other way the norm?!
Why don't they just freaking say what they mean; "Shuffle target artifact or enchantment into its owner's library." instead of making it sound like the choice of the target is made when the spell actually resolves?
Seems the phrasing could have easily been made to more clearly indicate it isn't trying to do anything tricky (interesting/cool) with the targeting.
Same can be said for Deglamer
That having been said... both cards are great.

Really good stuff, and usable removal in limited. I remember Colossus of Akros being a little hard to deal with, and Artisan's Sorrow didn't do anything. The only really useful thing you could do was Fade into Antiquity it.

@Curlie-Joe Because if it were worded as you suggest, you would be the one shuffling it into your opponents library. Which is never how that type of effect goes. It's always the opponent shuffling their thing into their library or you shuffling your thing into yours.

It's like how you always bounce something into its owners hand. I would assume this is because wizards doesn't want to encourage people holding/concealing other people's (possibly strangers) cards/libraries for the purpose of cheating or stealing. This second paragraph is basically just speculation, but I stand by it.

Card is 5/5 for me.

Great card for mono-{G} control... right up there with other classless annoying {G} cards like Plow Under and Stunted Growth... at least it doesn't put it on top of their library.

It's a BRIDGE! And you SHUFFLE it! Yay for fourth-wall breaking card game jokes!

@ Dragon_Punch: What about in Chaos Warp? That card is phrased much more nicely with the same effect. The only differences are that this only hits Artifacts and Enchantments, and Chaos Warp's part about revealing the top card--neither of which are factors that should affect the wording of the "shuffling into library" effect.

I love love LOVE this card! Same cost and speed as Naturalize, but it can also deal with indestructible stuff too! In standard it's great for getting rid of gods. In EDH, it's a really fun and dickish way to get rid of a hard-casted Blightsteel Colossus XD

5/5
