If you search for King David or King Saul but they are not in your deck can you still draw two?

If you manage to put a non-existent character in play, I applaud you.

The phrasing "<do something> to <do something else>" is used in cost-benefit cards. In those cases if you cannot <do soemthing> then you have not paid the cost and are therefor unable to reap the benefit of <do something else>.
So, if you cannot put King Saul or David in play, you cannot draw 2. You still can search your deck and band to a male I Samuel Hero though.

I could do that to!

There are two things that must be done in order to claim the D2:
1.) Search deck for King Saul or David
2.) Put "it" in play.
That "it" is the card you just searched for.
-
I'm not sure I entirely agree.. I have David in my hand, and I enter battle with Samuel. I search my deck for David and put it in play. "It" Obviously means the card I searched for, and if I HAVE the card I searched for, I should be able to put "it" in play.
I'm not sure I'd want this ruled like that, for simplicity sake, but I'm not entirely convinced.
-
I'd love for it to be ruled that way, and there is an argument for it. However, as the rules stand, you can't.
-
I agree with the ruling as it stands now. The "It" is specifically talking about the card you just searched your deck for.
