Question

The card Wicked Ambitions says to discard [x] cards from the encounter deck. Say the stage is Stage III, so X is 3. What if there are 2 cards in the deck? Would you discard 2 and then would the third card whiff? Or would you discard 2, immediately reshuffle the encounter deck, and then discard another?

Answer

If Wicked Ambitions causes the encounter deck to empty, the rules for an empty encounter deck are followed.
