Timing question about Lembas's shuffle trigger.
Asked by K4nkato 9 months ago
Let's say I crack Lembas to gain 3 life. In response to the shuffle trigger, I play Frantic Salvage to put it on top of my library and draw it again. When the shuffle trigger resolves, do I still have to shuffle or does the trigger fizzle since Lembas is no longer in the graveyard?
Gidgetimer says... Accepted answer #1
"Fizzle" is specifically for a targeted effect to be countered by the rules of the game due to having no legal targets. Lembas doesn't target anything and so the ability will still resolve. Even though the Lembas is no longer in the graveyard and can therefore not be shuffled into the library, the library is still shuffled.
701.20d If an effect would cause a player to shuffle a set of objects into a library, that library is shuffled even if there are no objects in that set.
