Do I automatically lose when I don't have anymore cards in my library?

Asked by gianski 11 years ago

Do I automatically lose when I don't have anymore cards in my library (during oppenent's turn, assuming my opponent uses a library-burn deck)? Or I will only lose during my draw step?

You will only lose when you have to draw a card from an empty library. Just having an empty library doesn't cause you to lose the game.

You only lose when you have to draw a card but are unable to due to the fact you have no cards in your library.

By the way, the correct turn for a "library-burn" deck is a "mill" deck (from Millstone ).

What if I have to mill 5 cards but I don't have anymore cards in my library?

You mill no cards.

Another example: If you have no cards in your library, Opportunity targeting you will force a loss.

Matsi883: TTBOMK, Wizards has never released official names for strategies. 'Mill' is the common name for the technique, but to say it's the 'correct' one is a bit harsh. Nomenclature changes over time, and some local metas may have their own terminology.

That's true. "Mill" is the unofficial name used even on the mothership.
