Forum:Card of Demise vs Protector of the Sanctuary

We all love PSCT for making the rules of each individual card easy to understand, but there are still times it falls short, notably when a single effect is split into multiple sentences.

My specific question is this - what happens if, at the time of resolution of "Card of Demise", no cards can be drawn (for example, if the opponent has put "Protector of the Sanctuary" on their field, or there are 3 or more cards in my hand)? Obviously, that player still cannot Special Summon that turn, and the use of "also" makes it clear that no damage can be inflicted to the opponent. But what about the other effect? If no cards are drawn from Card of Demise, must that player still send all cards in their hand to the Graveyard during the End Phase or not? Battlemaniac (talk • contribs) 10:03, May 22, 2016 (UTC)
