Forum:Can you activate a card if it would resolve in a null way?

For example, could you activate dark hole if there isn't any monster on the field? That's not allowed on Yu-gi-oh videogames, but I don't see a ruling that clearly doesn't allow that.

I found myself into a situation where I would have won if this were allowed (activating fissure although the opponent doesn't have any monster card, so my Magical exemplar would have won two magic counters, I would have special summoned a monster from my graveyard and finish off my opponent life points).

Can you help me with this? Thanks.
