If an effect says "Search your library . . . then shuffle your library," you shuffle you libraries even though you can't search.
wotc1 Jan 2011
A player who has paid {2} may search any library when instructed to do so that turn, not just their own library.
wotc1 Jan 2011
Paying {2} doesn't let a player pick up a library and search it — it just allows them to ignore Leonin Arbiter's effect that turn. That player can search a library only if another spell or ability instructs them to do so.
wotc1 Jan 2011
If an effect says "You may search your library . . . If you do, shuffle your library" or "You may search your library . . . then shuffle your library," you can't choose to search, so you won't shuffle.
wotc1 Jan 2011
If there are multiple Leonin Arbiters on the battlefield, a player must pay {2} for each one before being able to search libraries that turn.
wotc1 Jan 2011
If a player pays {2}, that enables only them to ignore Leonin Arbiter's effect that turn. Each other player is still affected by it.
