Do you lose the game when you have to reveal the top card of your library, but you have no cards left?

Asked by Bloodthirsty 11 years ago

Maybe it's a stupid question, but: Do you lose the game when you have to reveal the top card of your library, but you have no cards left there?

Not unless you have to draw it.

i don't believe so - you would only lose if you had to draw that revealed card.

No. If you are forced to reveal cards from your library or hand, but you have no cards in the relevant zone, you don't reveal anything.

The state-based action of which you're thinking causes a player to lose the game for attempting to draw a card from an empty library. Only effects or actions that explicitly cause a player to draw (i.e. "put a card into your hand" effects won't matter) will cause a player to lose the game.
