edit: updated   Creature Restocade (When this creature is put into a graveyard from play, exile cards from the top of your library until you exile a creature card that costs 1 mana less. You may cast it without paying its mana cost. Put the exiled cards on the bottom in a random order.) 3/3 Creature Shroud ~ cannot block. Reverse Restocade - Shroud and cannot attack (When this creature is put into a graveyard from play, exile cards from the top of your library until you exile a creature card that costs 1 mana more. You may cast it without paying its mana cost, it gains Shroud and cannot attack. Put the exiled cards on the bottom in a random order.) 0/5

Now I'm just a simple country lawyer but doesn't this break self-mill decks right in half? I mean, they don't even have to run White, all they have to do is put the first card in their deck and mill themselves, then play a three mana card, potentially milling again, and so on and so on.
I don't even really understand the templating of the second card. It just seems bizarre and overly complicated and nonsensical. And also broken. And also I think you can give an instant Defender with this?

I've now updated the wording, it shouldn't have been able to be discarded into effect at all, that should now be fixed.
I expect this to be less broken than Cascade, it's cirtainly slower.
Reverse Restocade should be tricky to make worthwhile, the idea is that you try and destroy it, so it can come back as a stronger card, possibly another Reverse Restocade card, but that will be harder still to continue this trend too many times. I expect it to be used where one might play a board wipe or similar anyway, so I've tried to be careful not to make it too powerful.

The implementation is super clunky though. I mean, like I said, you can give an instant Defender with that card. And your drawback only affects creatures so it's potentially broken if you can get any other type of spell with it. And it's just a lot of extra words for design space that I'm not sure is really even all that worth exploring given the potential for totally broken shenanigans.

I now see what you mean. I still had the wording too similar to the original cascade and have just addressed those things.
Give me an example of using this card in a broken way.
