Answer

Ruling: The judge should separate out cards that had been recycled (such as from mulligan or sabotage) to the bottom of the deck before shuffling. Only the remaining portion of the deck that wasn't knowably placed should be shuffled.

Sequence:

  • Determine which cards are knowable by players as having been recycled to the bottom
  • Separate those recycled cards from the rest of the deck
  • Shuffle only the non-recycled portion of the deck
  • Keep the recycled cards in their bottom position

Nuances:

  • The judge should use information available from the game state and from the players to determine which portion of the deck is knowable
