	\|strategy=~~''Decipher~~ card ~~strategy'~~' (~~starred on the Premiere Dark card list~~).		\|strategy=I have seen this card maligned for too long. There is no reason why everybody shouldn't have at least one of them in his (or her) deck.

	~~From Paul "Centauri" Unwin :~~		First of all, it's a 5. This is enough attrition to take out [[Darth Vader{{!}}Vader]]/[[Obi-Wan Kenobi{{!}}Obi-Wan]] or 3 Stormtroopers/Rebel Troopers. Not much more to add to this aspect.

	~~Thirdly~~, it~~'s free~~. ~~It's not likely to change the tide in battle~~		In the fourth place, it always works. No destiny draw, no nothing. About how many other cards can you say this? In addition, unless your opponent has read this article, why would he or she "waste" a [[Sense (Dark){{!}}Sense]] on it?

This is what you would expect from a card known as an Interrupt, but a surprising number of otherwise really fantastic cards can only be played during a [[Control]] or Battle phase.

Consider the following: ([[The Bith Shuffle]]) Your opponent just lost one of his main tailkickers. You have a feeling that your opponent is going to play a [[Kintan Strider]] after the next battle, in order to get him back. You nonchalantly interrupt with [[The Bith Shuffle]] and your opponent watches in abject horror as his character slips into the mists of the Lost Pile underneath who knows how many Stormtroopers. Or ([[Ommni Box]]), your opponent has just used his [[Electrobinoculars]] to find just the right destiny to ruin your day. Assuming you're not in the middle of a battle, you quickly slap down you [[Ommni Box]] and deftly obscure the destiny draw your opponent was so certain about a moment ago.

	~~"Yeah, but its game text is useless!" says you~~. ~~"Not so!" says I.~~		There are other uses. Is your opponent down to few enough cards that he is able to keep track of his high and low destinies? [[The Bith Shuffle]]/[[Ommni Box]] will take care of that. Or is it still mid-game and is your opponent seeding his deck with above average destinies through the use of [[Reactor Terminal]]/[[Traffic Control]]? Spread those suckers around with [[The Bith Shuffle]]/[[Ommni Box]] which you so thoughtfully put in your hand.

You can peek at the top card (or cards if there is more than one other musician present) of the pile or deck you just shuffled. Then you can reshuffle if you like (without peeking this time).
