Title: Buying from an empty pile?
Post by: mxdata on January 01, 2022, 07:19:59 pm

Can you buy a card from an empty pile?  That is, can you spend the buy and the money for that card and then fail to gain because there's no card? For example, if the Curse pile is empty, and you've played a Merchant Guild, could you buy a Curse, failing to gain it, but still getting the +1 Coffers?

I'm fairly sure the answer is no, but I'm not positive

You are correct, the answer is no.

Buying from the supply is like gaining from the supply: You have to choose a card that is available.
