Ask a Judge

Q: I have no cards left in my deck. I play Neutron Shark and resolve the first sentence of its Play: ability. Does the ability repeat because I did not discard a Logos card?

A: No. In this case, the instruction to discard the top card of your deck and the check of that card are both ignored, so the effect will not resolve again.
