-Scroll of Fate

[magicjudge]

If I manifest Nexus of Fate with say, with a Scroll of Fate, and the manifested creature dies, will Nexus of Fate's replacement trigger activate and put it back in library or does it simply hit the graveyard as a 2/2 and then stay in graveyard?

It will just end up staying in the graveyard.

For a replacement effect to be able to modify an event, it has to exist before that event occurs. Since a face down Nexus of Fate has no abilities when it dies, so it doesn't have the shuffle ability before it actually enters the graveyard. By the time it's face up in your graveyard, it's too late to apply the replacement effect and so it just stays there.
