I've been playing The Ring Goes South from The Road Darkens, and wanted some clarification on the text on 1B (my emphasis):
QuoteForced: At the end of the planning phase, each player places the top card of his deck faceup in front of him, in player order, until there are a total of 4 faceup cards between the players. The first player chooses 1 faceup card to be played for 0 cost, 1 to add to its owner's hand, 1 to discard, and 1 to shuffle into its owner's deck. Then, either shuffle Lust for the Ring into the encounter deck, or raise each player's threat by 5. Advance to stage 2.
I'm playing one-handed solo, and on one occassion I drew Galadriel as one of the four cards, and decided to play her for 0 cost. Galadriel's ability allows me to manipulate the player deck.
My question is, can I choose which order to carry out the tasks in bold above, or do I have to carry them out in order?
If I carry them out in order then that means I have to shuffle the deck after manipulating it, which somewhat negates the advantage of playing Galadriel here (other than possibly getting a free attachment from her ability).
ETA: It just occurred to me that Galadriel's ability might not even trigger here as technically she is not being played from my hand. But my original question re the order still stands.
