I think you would have to have at least one card to shuffle. Because Mayhem says each player must Shuffle hand into deck to draw six. So if you have nothing to Shuffle then you can't draw.

If you can still discard a hand of 0 cards for Primary Objective, you can shuffle a hand of 0 cards. I would say you could draw as long as you shuffle your deck first.

I believe this is correct--you can also discard a hand of 0 cards per the Sinning Hand ruling (unless that changed, but I'm not aware if it did).

He was referring to the opponent being able to discard a 0 card hand to instead the rescue.

If it says must Shuffle hand and you have nothing in your hand how does that work?

REG---> Hand:  A player’s hand is where a player holds all of the cards that are not in their deck or discard pile but have not been played.  Player’s put cards from their hand on the table to play them. 

The ruling was made that the "hand" is a location therefore it exists even if there are no cards in that location.

well this is sure good to know :p
