1997 November 16, Roger Wink, “Re: Tournament Shuffling”, in rec.games.trading-cards.magic.misc (Usenet):This will tend to break up the clumps without drawing attention to yourself with the mana weave.
2000 December 7, James Lyvers, “Re: R: Shuffeling?”, in rec.games.trading-cards.magic.rules (Usenet):As a result I find the mana weave to be a fair means of randomizing a deck provided it is done face down, and followed by 1 or 2 riffle shuffles.
2002 March 9, Simon White, “Re: Doing the Shuffle”, in rec.games.trading-cards.magic.misc (Usenet):If you are using a sufficently uncertain (I'm not going to say random)method of shuffling your deck, then the mana weave should make no differance to the final state of the deck before game play.

1998 July 14, Eric Taylor, “Re: Mike Long = Cheating Bastard”, in rec.games.trading-cards.magic.strategy (Usenet):Yet. . . What happens if you catch someone mana weaving their lands?
