AGoT LCG is my first card game experience so I apologize if I ruffle some feathers for a newbie question….

When a player has no more house deck cards to draw from, what happens? Does the discard pile get reshuffled as the "new" house deck (which i believe there is a rule that states you can't reorder the discard pile, implying that it doesn't get reshuffled ever)? Is the player eliminated? Or does the player just not have the option to draw more cards and can only play with the "in-play" and shadow cards on the table? I've read the rulebook, watched the video tutorials, and even read the official rulse clarification/FAQ/Errata yet the game mechanic doesn't appear to be addressed. Or have I just missed it?

Thank you for your time and answers.

This should tell you all you need to know: Nothing happens when the draw deck is empty. The player simply can't draw any more cards.

Thanks for the information.

I think there are some cards like barristan selmy which allow the discard pile to be shuffled back into the house deck. But what happens if you don't have such a card, no characters on the board, no cards in shadows, in hand etc. Are you eliminated or do opponents get to have undefened challanges (ignoring the support rules and other such effects) or do most games end before any such event happens in most cases.

You are not eliminated.

If you have no cards in your deck, in your hand, or in play -- you sit around and watch the other players declare unopposed challenges against you.

Hopefully, you'll play a plot to let you get somebody back from your dead or discard pile…
