If you are instructed to reveal 5 cards but only have 1 card in deck (Nocturne), does this cause a Burn Out?
Ruling: Revealing cards does not cause a Burn Out. You reveal as many cards as possible (in this case, 1 card) and do not Burn Out, even if your deck becomes empty during the reveal process.
Sequence:
- You attempt to reveal 5 cards but only have 1 (Nocturne)
- You reveal the 1 card available
- If Nocturne is revealed, you banish it and it remains pending
- Complete the rest of the effect (dealing 0 damage if this was Teemo)
- Play Nocturne
- No Burn Out occurs
Nuances:
- Revealing is not defined as "reveal 1 card N times" (unlike drawing, which is defined as "draw 1 N times")
- Revealing takes place simultaneously for all cards, not one at a time
- Burn Out only occurs when drawing cards, not when revealing them
- This ruling is based on rules as written (RAW) and may be subject to future clarification
