Rulings
- : If the player has no nonland cards in their hand, you can still search that player’s library and have them shuffle it.
- : The cards you’re searching for must be found and exiled if they’re in the graveyard because it’s a public zone. Finding those cards in the hand and library is optional, because those zones are hidden (even if the hand is temporarily revealed).
