What happens when no cards are left to draw ?

    So what happens when a characters library (to an use mtg term) is empty ?
    1/ Character only gets to draw/play his move card ?
    2/ Charcter dies ?
    3/ Discarded and/or played cards get shuffeled back ?
    4/ ... ?

    I have tried in vain to search for an answer in the forum. Apologies if it has been adressed already.

    It just shuffles the discard pile in to the deck and starts over

    Which is why monster decks with small numbers of cards will seem to be able to draw that Armour / Block / Attack card a lot of times. I am hoping for some sort of "Remove Card from Deck" mechanic at some point. There are some cards that are temporarily taken from your deck and put into others and at least one card that 'steals' blocks from other decks, again temporarily.

    Had a group drawing 4 from a 12 card deck that is just silly

    Yeah, that makes the "Discard x number of Cards" strategy a bit moot.

    Thanks for the answers.

    I see the problem. Ninja Kobolds with small decks can keep playing parry and block cards, and reshuffle/redrawing them while your equivalent cards are diluted.

    Maybe a solution is to have (more) cards with drawbacks in such small decks, they well be guaranteed to come often for the same reason the good cards do.

    Maybe being able to burn away a card would be too op in such a small deck, but maybe being able to "blank" or stun cards for a duration of rounds could work.

    Most draw backs self replace

    Do you remember which monster type only has 12 cards in its deck? Because that's a bug, one that might indicate a mis-typed card name in a monster deck file.

    Thanks!

    Ethereal Wisps only have 12 cards in their deck and that was the monster i was reffering to.
