Regarding this ruling question
http://pokegym.net/forums/showthread.php?t=63724,
I do not understand why you are not allowed to play this card when you have no cards left in your deck.
This card has two effects:
1. Draw 3 cards.
2. Put one card from your hand under your deck.
You cannot play a trainer card for no effect, but even if you have no deck, this card has an effect. Effect No. 1 will change nothing to the game state, but effect No. 2 will do: It brings your deck count from zero to one card which is a pretty strong effect.
There are other rulings in the compendium where you only need to be able to use parts of the effect in order to play the trainer card. E.g. Island Hermit has two effect as well:
1. Flip 1 or 2 face-down prizes.
2. Draw 2 cards.
Even if the first effect fails because all prizes are face up, you are still allowed to do the second one.
Same thing with Warp Point. You are not allowed to play it if both players have no bench pokemon. But as soon as one of them has, you can play it although half of the effect can not be played out.
And: The card you put under your deck is not a cost of Oak´s Visit (like on the Holon supporters).
So, I don´t understand this ruling given existing metarules and other rulings.
