Rulings (2)
- You may cast Blessed Respite even if there are no cards in the target player's graveyard. If you do, they will still shuffle their library and combat damage will still be prevented.
- If you target yourself with Blessed Respite, it will not be shuffled into your library. It will go to your graveyard after it resolves.
