Answer

Ruling: Your opponent will Burn Out when attempting to draw 4 cards from an empty deck. They will recycle their Trash into their Main Deck, grant you 1 point, then complete drawing the required cards.

Sequence:

  • Both players discard their hands simultaneously
  • The active player (caster) draws first due to turn order
  • The non-active player then attempts to draw 4 cards
  • If the opponent's deck has fewer than 4 cards, they Burn Out: draw what they can, recycle Trash into Main Deck, grant the caster 1 point, then complete the draw

Nuances:

  • Running out of cards does not cause you to lose the game in Riftbound
  • If the opponent's Trash is also empty when recycling, their deck remains empty and they may Burn Out again on subsequent draws
  • The active player always resolves simultaneous effects first due to turn order
