OT for the perm idea (:
NOTES:
A modification of an older card idea I had here (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,19225.msg261032#msg261032).
I don't believe this is any problem?

Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zephyrus#West_wind_%28Zephyrus%29
Zephyrus is the Greek god of the West Wind, known by sailors to be the "favorable wind" to guide them across the seas.

As such, Jar, in collaboration with Eternity or Reverse Time, can shuffle away an opponent's creature. Or, if Aether is your field, when combined with Mindgate, unfavorable draws can be changed for the better!

Immaterial? Though, yes, the buff is high; how's +3/+2?

Drastically modified; the board was formerly Valkyrie | Shining Valkyrie, but I like recycling :)

CURATOR COMMENT
-Leave the ATK|HP section of the table blank if the card is not a creature (do not put 'N/A' in that area)
-Fix the crediting of your art source: http://www.freedigitalphotos.net/images/help/acknowledgement/index.php?photogname=dan&photogid=587 <--- read this carefully, and add the correct links to the ART section

Does "... and draw a card" work? It's not like it really matters whether or not you shuffle. You don't know how your deck is in the first place. The only big deal is a Flying Eternity deck.
Perception is the source of misunderstanding.

Why, yes. I do have a Mindgate necklace. It's how I ninja everyone.

Nepycros is right, this card's ability actually does nothing at all except in combination with Rewind.

It also works with mindgate when the card you drew is unusable at the time

Doesn't Mindgate add the card to your hand?  This doesn't really help that unless you have multiple Mindgates out.

How about also giving it "Generate :air when you draw a card" ? Wind can become stronger at times (As you draw multiple cards the winds power increases), but it can also weaken (You havea full hand and therefore no wind energy can blow).

I believe you should also take note of Hyroen's review for this card's predecessor.

Trials Phase 1 Card Idea Analysis:
Good to see a new name on the map, hope to get to know you better funerallaughter.

On a more serious note, I'm intrigued by this card!! At first this card seemed a little senseless in a CCG where decks and luck are involved. Upon remembering cards such as Eternity, Rewind, Mindgate, ideas certainly sparked. What better than Air to whip up a deck that has settled, to change the fate of the shuffle?

However, while this card combines nicely with cards that can "see" the deck, the effect doesn't quite warrant the cost it currently has. It seems a little expensive for what it does, not to mention it doesn't do something -that- game-breaking.

I can see 2 paths being taken. You could either give it a type of bonus such as making it have the possibility of integrating some sort of Permanent scattering along with what it already does. Through this scattering a fixed maximum of permanents have a chance of moving to the other side of the field, to its enemy. You could also just opt to decrease the cost of playing it to something like 3 :air | 2 :air and leave the abilities as such. As a minor detail I would assume the skill is called Scatter | Squander (possibly?), correct?

All in all I'm excited to see new work from new names and you my friend show promise thus far. Letting Air mix things up from time to time is exactly what one can expect from Air, the unexpected.

Keep up the good work funerallaughter!! ^_^
Go :air Air!!

That's true, you can use Mindgate to peek at your opponent's next draw, and then shuffle their deck if you don't want them to draw it.
