Title: Can you shuffle zero cards?
Post by: spineflu on July 08, 2021, 02:02:54 pm

was re-reading the "one card shuffle" thread (http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=15358.0) and realized we don't have a Donald X ruling on the zero card shuffle.
Is it "yeah, this follows from the one card shuffle", or "Nah, you need cards to be able to shuffle them"?

I don't actually know what your question is.

If there were e.g. a Landmark that said "when you shuffle, +1 VP," and you played a Smithy with zero cards left in your deck and discard pile, you would not get the +1 VP.

I can give the more specific example, but it's a fan card and I suspect the answer is "don't make that card". But yeah, the example you gave answers it well enough outside of that weird edge case.
