This has come up a couple times in games. Can Ammy's slave go to opponents Land of Bondage if I'm out of cards in my deck?

The Amalekites' Slave (RA)
Type: Evil Char. • Brigade: Gold/Brown • Ability: 4 / 4 • Class: None • Special Ability: If blocking, you may place this card in opponent's Land of Bondage to search your deck for a human Evil Character and add it to the battle. • Play As: If blocking, you may choose to have your opponent capture this card to search your deck for a human Evil Character and add to battle the Evil Character.

Yes.  You can pay a cost for no benefit.

That's what I thought, but I wanted to make sure.
