Discussion of the ways the top card of your library can not be random led to this.
It's more of a talking point than an actual design -- most people don't want a card this useless.
It came from asking, what's a red Brainstorm like? Ironically, it's not at all useless -- if you have something that does tell you the top card of your library, this can give you some control.
It would be a better design if the shuffle was optional, so it was less time-consuming and gave you more choices if you do know what the top card is. But I think that's less red.
Yeah, oddly, this is a strong card. I know it would be potent in New Mirrodin, for example, which keeps slipping cards on the bottom of your library. In fact, I might steal this card from you, Jack. I got an open uncommon slot this could fill.
I think there are enough Timmies who like pure randomness, Johnnies who found a neat way to use a 'bad' card, and Spikes who think they're being clever to make this card good for most players. It would get its fair share of derision, but I'm sure it would be a pet card for many, too.

I'm worried it might seem annoyingly pointless in an actual set, but by all means, borrow the idea if you'd like, thank you.
Yes, I can see how this is often pointless, but just sometimes it's the right card for a deck. Probably wants a "Then" in there, though?

Heh, I like it.
