Gyruda and Replacement Effects that lead to hidden information

Asked by Delphen7 1 year ago

Say I am enchanted by Wheel of Sun and Moon. One player casts Gyruda, Doom of Depths.

The four cards I milled are sent to the bottom of my library, but they were still milled. Does that mean a player can look at the bottom of my library to grab an even cmc creature?

Say instead of being enchanted by Wheel, I mill a Progenitus. Can a player search my library to grab it for Gyruda's effect?

No, they won't be able to get anything. Players can only look at cards in hidden zones (hand and library) if a rule or effect specifically says so. Even though Wheel of Sun and Moon revealed the cards briefly, there's no way to look at the cards or verify their characteristics after they're put on the bottom of the library. The other players don't even know what order the cards are in (milling happens to all the cards simultaneously, not sequentially, so technically you would have revealed all 4 cards at once and then put them onto the bottom of the library in the order of your choice).
