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
