So, uh, if you really don't want to scry4 you don't have to?

Feels like a bit of a bombo.

There's no interaction with Guide, but this is a powerful effect on its own. Scry 4 is a lot

Mmm, a soercery scry 4 for {u} seems sensible. Reason for example exists, but has a second casting mode, so you could do a bit more.

One further scry AND a 1/2? Seems over the top.

It's not supposed to be an interaction. It's supposed to be a variant. In both cases you have a better than arbitrary control over the order of your library after playing an effect that attempts to shuffle and some additional information.

The correct numbers are a question. I imagine even as little as scry 1 or scry 2 may be enough on an efficient enough body.

Oh! You meant it's making a cycle of cards that care-about shuffling! That makes much more sense.

My bad for misunderstanderating.
