Split Screen4 Artifact (Rare)
When Split Screen enters the battlefield,
shuffle your library and deal it into four
libraries. If anything refers to your library,
choose one of your libraries for it.
Play with your libraries' top cards revealed.
When Split Screen leaves the battlefield,
shuffle your libraries together.
The problem with defining this format by what is "fun" is that everyone seems to define fun as what they don't lose to. If you keep losing to easily answered cards, that means you should improve your deck. If you don't want to improve your deck, then you should come to peace with the idea that you are going to lose because you chose to not interact with better strategies.
That's... Weird. So you would pick one to draw from for your turn, I guess? Which I guess this would make it pretty decent by itself. Having that ability to pick the best of four cards instead of whatever random is on top of your one.
I just went from a thread where someone was complaining about contrapiton "forcing you to run another library" to this, lol. Also, if you get multiples, do you get 16 decks?
Why you gotta take all the suspense and excitement out of the card effects in the thread titles? First the subgame card, and now this.
I thought of it as a good idea : /
Shrug, maybe it's just me, but I feel like it kinda kills any anticipation when clicking on the thread to see what the card does. Kinda like someone telling you what's inside a present as they're handing it to you.
(Yes I'm complaining about spoilers being spoiled, disregard me)

Wow, that seems pretty powerful. It's kind of like Sensei's Divining Top, but not super time-consuming? Also, the fact that Circu, Dimir Lobotomist is strangely templated as "target library" is super relevant here, haha!
Also, this would be sick tech against lantern control, too bad it's not a real card.

If anything refers to a library, pick one of these. That'd apply to a second copy of split screen so you'd pick one of the small libraries to split and end up with 7 libraries.
Could you lose the game as a state based effect if one of your libraries ran out of cards?
The only way you lose as a state based effect from milling is if you draw from an empty library, and I'm gonna assume players will not usually choose to draw from empty libraries with this.

Check out the thread for my cube if you have the time, and tell me how terrible it is.
Generals meant to be drafted first in a single pack of 6 cards.
And here is the actual cube, meant to be drafted in 4 regular sized packs. (60 card decks)
I doubt this is true, the whole thing is your library, the mill should carry over to the next stack
"If anything refers to your library, choose one of your libraries for it."
That means that if something wants to mill your library, you choose one of your libraries, and the effect mills that one. It won't even see the others.
Total side note but I like how people are discussing running this over itself.
Well, it has to be said that Kolaghan is clearly better than Kolaghan. Considering what BR decks usually want and how stiff the competition in this guild is, there is no way that I would run Kolaghan over Kolaghan! Kolaghan might make it in as the sixth guild card or so. Kolaghan on the other hand ranks several places below that.
It was so funny to me when they described this as a downgrade to the original Zurgo during the Pax East panel. I was thinking if this is a downgrade, they should really "downgrade" all legendary creatures. Haha.
My deck designing is quite concise at this point:
1. Come up with deck idea
2. Realize this idea is somehow fundamentally similar to another deck I have or that is commonly played in my group
3. Decide I don't want to disassemble one of my existing decks
4. Give up and do nothing
I don't see the point of this new shroud mechanic. It's strictly worse than Hexproof. Threshold is pretty bad too, Delirium is a much better mechanic and probably easier to activate.
Otherwise this card is a pretty neat guy. Dodges removal and grows into a Primal Huntbeast. 3/5

No, 7, 10 or 13.

The card explicitly states that whenever anything refers to your library (which all milling does) you pick which library.
Given that 0 cards is an allowed number of cards in a library, this effectively makes you immune to milling.

You made me envision Laboratory Maniac flipping on a Split Screen with that giant switch in his art.
