Your judges suck then.For #2, the judges at the events I go to tell me that you only have to shuffle if your opponent wants you to.
Says right there that you shuffle a hand of 0 cards in.Compendium said:Q. If my opponent has no cards left in their hand, and I use Honchkrow's "Dark Wing Flaps" attack, does my opponent shuffle his or her deck?
A. No, because the instruction is to shuffle a "card" into their deck. If the instruction had been to shuffle their "hand" in, then they would shuffle even with a hand of zero cards. (Dec 6, 2007 PUI Rules Team)
