Can I play Smoke and Mirrors even if I have 0 units or 1 unit or only units on 1 location just to draw a card?

Answer

No, you cannot play Smoke and Mirrors if you do not have at least two units at different locations.

According to the card text, Smoke and Mirrors requires you to "Choose a unit you control and another unit you control at a different location." Because this is a requirement to play the card, you must have two such units available to target in order to put the spell on the chain.

As established in RiftJudge FAQ #4286 and #6785, you cannot play a spell without valid targets just to trigger the secondary effects (like drawing a card). The "do as much as you can" rule only applies during resolution; you must meet the targeting requirements at the time of casting to play the card in the first place.

Therefore, if you have 0 units, 1 unit, or only units at a single location, you do not have the required targets and cannot play the card.
