Q: The effect of “Iron Blacksmith Kotetsu” does not state that the Deck must be shuffled after selecting a card. Must the Deck be shuffled after the card
is selected or does this card allow the controller to view the order of their Deck?
A:
ANYTIME you have to search your Deck or your opponent’s Deck for a card the Deck is shuffled afterwards.
“Painful Choice,” “Reinforcements of the Army,” “Witch of the Black Forest,” “Sangan,” “Mystic Tomato,” “Giant Rat,” “Mother Grizzly,” “Shining Angel,”
“UFO Turtle,” “Magical Hats,” “Different Dimension Capsule,” “Troop Dragon,” “Nimble Momonga,” “Giant Germ,” “Last Will,” Dark Scorpion – Meanae
the Thorn,” “Pandemonium,” “Chain Destruction,” “Apprentice Magician,” “Gather Your Mind,” “Emblem of Dragon Destroyer,” “Nobleman of Crossout,”
“Nobleman of Extermination,” “Aresenal Summoner,” “Arsenal Robber,” “Iron Blacksmith Kotetsu,” “Spell Vanishing,” “Destiny Board,” and “Skull Knight
#2” are all examples of effects that would search the Deck. Each would require the Deck to be shuffled afterwards.
The randomization of the Deck must be assured. This is not the same as “Big Eye” or “Pigeonholing Books of Spell” which has you look at the top X
cards and rearrange them.
