If it really is a trick question, "deck" might not include your discard pile.

[Dingan]

If it really is a trick question, "deck" might not include your discard pile.

It does.  The card can be in your deck or discard pile -- either way, it's not drawn nor put into your hand.

Hint:
Your opponent has a "When another player plays an attack card" reaction card in their hand.

Kind of a trick question, but..
You have 1 card left in your deck that you haven't drawn. You play Scrying Pool. But you don't actually draw the card. How?

You have 1 card left in your deck that you haven't drawn. In addition to that 1 card, you have other cards. And then you draw those other cards, but not that particular card.

No.  You have 1 and only 1 card in your deck / discard pile.

I don't see how any of those interrupted the card revealing.

Is it Moat?

[Elanchana]

Do you have your -1 card token on your deck somehow? Doesn't involve a reaction card but like...

I should have seen that coming.  That could be part of the answer (any "When another player plays an attack card" reaction card would work).

I don't consider Adventure stuff in my puzzles yet, so no.

The -1 card token doesn't do anything to Scrying Pool because it doesn't technically draw.

[Elanchana]

Is this all the steps there are?

P1 plays Scrying Pool
P2 uses a reaction card (and something happens)
P1 reveals the only card in their deck and discards it or puts it back
P1 possibly reveals the top card of P2's deck and discards it or puts it back
P1 reveals the only card in their deck and discards it or puts it back -OR- P1 does nothing

[Elanchana]

Hmm... I just thought of something. Is a forced action card like Herald or Golem involved?

No

You play Scrying Pool.  When your opponent clicks on their reaction card, a bug in the Making Fun client causes their game to crash.  They quit the game while they still have priority, and the game ends before you can draw your card.

Or one person resigns before you can draw the card.

Edit: I suppose the answer isn't just "You have one card in your deck - it's the Scrying Pool you just played"

  Correct. To clarify: you play your SP, opponent has a Secret Chamber or something in hand, then they realize just how far behind they are and resign.  Game ends, with you having never drawn that card.

EDIT: there's also a way with Possession (though Possession was outlawed by the OP):
I, P1, am possessing my opponent, P2.  P2 (as me) plays SP. I reveal P2's only card in deck, discard it, then reveal P1's top card which is a Tunnel, and discard it. I (P2) gain the Gold, and then I draw it instead of the other card.

Boooooooooo

So, playing nearly all of my Dominion games IRL instead of online basically just prevented me from seeing an answer that really has nothing to do with the cards, or even the game itself. Nice.

I did mention it was kind of a trick question.  And I also said I played a Scrying Pool -- not an IRL Scrying Pool.

Really easy puzzle:

I'm behind in points. I play $4 and buy a Scout. On the next turn, I win. Why?

[enfynet]

The other player's Blitz timer ran out?

Eh, I suppose, but not what I had in mind.

Eight Gardens, final Scout for a 3 pile.

But then you'd win now, not next turn.

Seems like there's an almost infinite number of things we could make up between "you bought the second to last Scout, pumping all 8 of your Gardens up one point" and the next turn where you buy the last Scout.
