Having a permanently available way to shuffle your library may be unimportant to you, but it is not "no reason".

It's nice to see i'll soon be able to shuffle my library thanks to Lord Ashton !
Can't wait to build the deck where i'll include multiple copies of this 5 cap instead of any other better cards !

Reyda, I understand that you don't see the usefulness of shuffling your deck, but there are a great many ways to put cards in a specific place in your deck (top or bottom). If you can shuffle the deck, you move those known cards to other places in the deck.

For example, with Heart of Nizchetus you put some "late game" cards on the bottom of your deck. Lord Ashton's special means you don't have to wait through 80 cards to reach those cards, so you don't have to be quite as careful about ONLY Heart'ing "late game" stuff - you can put mid-game cards down there too.

Waste Management Operation is another one that puts cards on the bottom of your library.

Not to mention turning inferior Hourglass of the Mind, Marrakesh Codex, Augur etc. into "draw X cards".

Oh yeah, i'm sure this much needed ruling will totally change the face of the metagame. Can't wait !
