If a card says 'discard 2, then draw 2' but you have no cards in hand, do you still draw 2 cards?

Ruling: Yes, you draw 2 cards. Riftbound uses "Do as much as you can" (DAMAYC) as a silver rule, meaning you follow all instructions you can perform and only ignore what you cannot do.

Nuances:

  • Costs are typically specified by ":" or "to", not by "then"
  • The "then" indicates sequential instructions, not a cost requirement
