Does Cryptoplasm get shuffled into your library if it dies after you copy and block Blightsteel Colossus?

Title says it all.
I think not. It does not go from field to deck. It specifically says if it hits the graveyard. When Cryptoplasm hits the graveyard i believe it loses the fact that it is a copy.
not sure about this, someone please back me up if i am right

It actually says if it would be put into the graveyard, instead reveal it and shuffle it into the library, so it does seem to go from the battlefield to the library without hitting the graveyard.

Actually, I'm going to agree that it does not go to the graveyard, because of the way that ability is worded.
When Cryptoplasm copies the Colossus, he gets all the abilities, so he has an ability that says "If Cryptoplasm would be put into a graveyard from anywhere, reveal Cryptoplasm and shuffle it into its owner's library instead." So I think that yes, that ability acts as a replacement effect that takes effect before the 'plasm goes to the graveyard and loses its copied abilities.

no i reread it you are correct. It is a replacement effect.

I'm pretty sure the answer is yes, since it goes straight from the field to the deck. I don't have rules quotes though.
