Question Hermit druid with guile in deck. 5/6/2012 5:00:26 AM

If you activate the Hermit Druid Buy's ability, (assuming you have no basic lands in your deck), and have a Guile Buy in your deck, does the ability end when you hit the Guile Buy or do you put all cards in your graveyard and leave the Guile Buy as the only card in the deck.

Guile Buy`s triggered ability is put on stack after Hermit Druid Buy's activated ability resolves. So, if you don`t have any other cards with similar abilities, Guile Buy will end as only card in your library.

To explain this interaction a little further:

I have 50 cards left in my library.

1) I add to the stack Hermit Druid Buy activated ability.
2) Step 1 resolves, I keep revealing cards until I reveal a basic land card. Say the 30th card revealed is a Guile Buy. This will then cause Guile Buy's triggered ability to be added to the stack, but only when the Hermit Druid Buy's current activated ability finishs resolving. I continue to reveal cards, eventually revealing my last card in my library. As it isn't a basic land card and I haven't any cards left to reveal the hermit druids activated ability finishes resolving.
3) Guile Buy's triggered ability is added to the stack.
4) Step 3 resolves shuffling Guile Buy back into my library.

My reasoning for clearly describing this interaction is to make it clear, you will continue to reveal cards until you have no cards left. Regardless of when or where in your library you reveal your Guile Buy. As the EM member above me explains, you will be left with only your Guile Buy in your library unless there are other cards like Guile Buy.

Counterspell Buy = stuff any deck/combo up.
Force of Will Buy = stuff any deck/combo up with the added bonus of yelling out "surprise"!
