Interesting. Seems good against Liliana Vess.

I know I've seen a card that make a player shuffle their library for 1 mana...I think it was a blue enchantment. Who wouldn't want a more efficient, selecting Millstone?

spirit_of_blue, I'm afraid you are wrong.
Nothing can happen during the resolution of a spell or ability, other than that spell or ability itself and certain replacement effects. You can't even put other spells or abilities on the stack, and triggered abilities don't get added on the stack.
Things like Ulamog's Vindicate ability don't happen during his resolution; rather, it's a triggered ability on the card that happens when you cast him, and gets put on the stack above him, and entirely separate from him. It resolves and you destroy a permanent, then Ulamog resolves (assuming he isn't countered) and enters the battlefield.
In this case, with an effect like Liliana Vess' tutoring, her whole ability must resolve before this enchantment's ability goes on the stack - thus it cannot resolve until they finish doing all of the ability, including placing the card on top of the library.
So if an opponent activates Vess' tutor, they'll search, shuffle, and p... (see all)

i like this guy, sure its kinda wierd and not everyone is going to shuffle a lot (or at all in some cases) but when they do you pretty much get to exile something good and control thier next draw, a solid 2 drop IMO...4/5 as a random control card that keeps giving you advantages (just use Praetor's Grasp on someone and reap the advantages)
besides everyone knows Cosi's Trickster and Boggart Forager need more friends.....

Perish the Thought suddenly sounds more interesting in U/B control. :)

@ spirit_of_blue:
That is not correct. Liliana's ability finishes resolving before you gain priority and put Psychic Surgery's triggered ability onto the stack. As long as the player doesn't have an instant speed card draw effect (such as is found on all cards with Cycling, cards like Chromatic Sphere, Conjurer's Bauble, Brainstorm, Visions of Beyond, etc), that player can't stop you from exiling the tutored card when Surgery's ability resolves as it is among the top 2 cards of the library.
This looks really, really cool. The current standard format practically revolves around cards that make you shuffle your library; the Zendikar fetchlands, Evolving Wilds, Terramorphic Expanse, Birthing Pod, Ponder, Liliana Vess, Green Sun's Zenith, Squadron Hawk, ... (see all)

How does this card work if you have more than one on the battlefield? I can't find a ruling on it...
