Burn Out
You draw a card at the start of each turn, and some cards make you draw more. Your trash is the pile your used spells and dead units go to. If you must draw and your Main Deck (the deck you draw from) is empty, you Burn Out:
- Your trash is shuffled to make a new Main Deck.
- Your opponent gains 1 point.
- Then you draw the card you were trying to draw.
Burning Out doesn't lose the game by itself, but every one is a free point for your opponent, and it has no catch: at 7 it's their 8th. If your new deck is empty too, you Burn Out again. Late in a long game, count your deck before you draw.
You must draw and your deck is empty. Your opponent is on 7 and you're on 3. What happens?
