Gaea's Blessing and Ashiok
Gaea's Blessing isn't working with Ashiok properly. Ashiok mills the top 4 cards. End of sentence and single effect of milling 4 cards. It then says to exile all milled cards for a second effect (separate from the first NOT combined). The two effects are separated for a reason. If a card is just exiled from the top of the deck... then Gaea's Blessing reshuffle effect won't go off cause it never hit the grave yard. But Ashiok mills first and should trigger the reshuffle effect when a Gaea's Blessing is hit. The Gaea's Blessing effect should resolve right after the mill 4 cards. The difference is the end of sentence separation. If Ashiok said mill 4 cards AND exile all cards milled... the Gaea's Blessing won't go off. Specific grammar and syntax for separation. Gaea's Blessing SHOULD shuffle when hit with a 4 card mill from Ashiok.

At the moment, if Gaea's Blessing is milled with Ashiok's ability it interrupts the resolution of the effect and shuffles the graveyard. This is not how the rules interaction works, the entire ability of Ashiok should resolve including the exiling of the graveyard, after which the Gaea's Blessing trigger should be put on the stack with no graveyard left to shuffle back in, the player would then still shuffle their library.

So the way the ability is worded there are two interactions, and with these interaction the resolve differently, the ashiok mills, if it hit the blessing the shuffle is put on the stack and in paper magic resolves first, then the exile graveyard happens. If the exile graveyard were writen as an and the abilty would happen at the same time but this is npt the case

Grammar notwithstanding, Ashiok's ability will resolve completely before Gaea's Blessing's triggered ability goes on the stack. When it does go on the stack, it has already been exiled and won't do anything.
