Quoted By:
what if someone fails to finds a basic with let's say nest ball, and a turn later they do pull one, even though they never recovered a basic from their discard or put one in their deck from the play area or hand?
you can argue that it was public knowledge that there was no basic, yet they played it again to pull one, as failing to find is that the card could not locate a basic, not that you didn't "see it"
