Shard of Bravery and low deck count

[dragonsdemesne]

I just had a game where I had 1 card left in my deck at the end.  The AI had fire mark and played a shard of bravery.  We both had room to draw more than enough cards, but I only drew 1 card and didn't lose the game.  (I did lose to damage from the attack that turn, but not from deckout, which should have happened immediately)

On the opposite side of things, I have played Shard of Bravery when I had 2 cards, nonfire mark, and given a loss, even though I wasn't decking myself.

The second part is a bug as described and confirmed here http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,38763.0.html
The first part would make you lose as soon as you would get your turn and attempted to draw a non-existant card, which in almost all cases should result in the same outcome: you lose. Don't know if it's worth it to change it to instantly deckout in some weird way just for the odd case that your opponents' creatures would kill said opponent otherwise. Very, very unlikely case and the only case where it makes a difference.

I hadn't thought about that; in my first scenario, the game would be lost no matter what I did.  The only case I can think of where it would matter is if it was a PVP game, and the other player drew some healing spells and thus got a bigger electrum reward at the end, but that's an awfully obscure scenario.  It would take 1) a pvp game that 2) ended by death due to shard of bravery and 3) drew the shard player something to increase hp with, like heal, SoD, miracle, stone skin, vampire, black hole, etc that was 4) playable with quanta that turn and not countered by something the opponent had done (silence, sanctuary, etc) and 5) the player wasn't already going to get an EM (exception: SoD/SSkin)

So yeah, it can probably be ignored :p

This would be particularly hurtful for liquid AM'd creatures or Gpull'd voodoo or SoW'd reflect.
