Sylvan Library is better, because you can pay 4 life and KEEP them instead of just reordering them. And if the life isn't something you want to pay, you just simply put them back in the order you want them. I use this AND Library, and along with Think Tank, and Abundance, you can not only prevent a loss, but you can stack your deck, and choose what you want.
Remember, Abundance can prevent you from losing a game because you don't "Have to draw" because Abundance is a replacement, so you don't draw. So, you can stay alive with it. All these cards come together very well.

Like a book of ancient lore? Ponderous and halting?
Mirri bounded from tree to tree in the manner of a drunken terrapin. Then she tried to eat a burrito but she fell asleep instead.

Green used to have some of the card drawing and library manipulation that blue has. This card along with Sylvan Library were reasons why green can be dangerous early, by choosing what they draw on their turn along with mana acceleration

Green does draw manipulation through enchantments, blue specializes in instants and sorceries in the regard. So makes a lot of sense that this is green.

This is one of the things I dislike about EDH; it turns cards like this from cheap casual variants of powerful Legacy cards (Sylvan Library) into something that costs just as much :s. I like the card, but why not just buy Library if it's the same price?
All that said, this is quite nice for it's discounted mana price over Top/Library; however the other options are much better in the late game for allowing you access to more cards (you can top more than once and abuse shuffles; or you can draw a bunch with Library)
