In a recent tournament one of the competitors ran a deck with the spell card Reasoning.
When he activated the card and his opponent chose a monster level he continued picking up cards until his deck was depleted without picking up any monster cards. When his deck was depleted he then combined his deck with his graveyard and continued picking up cards until he picked up a monster card.
Is this really how the effect of Reasoning works?
Answer:
From the FAQ: "If no monster is picked up, shuffle your Deck and put it back in the Deck Zone; the effect of "Reasoning" disappears."
You DO NOT combine the Graveyard with the Deck.
Say you have 10 cards remaining in your Deck when you activate "Reasoning". Your opponent guesses a Level and you begin revealing the cards from the top of the Deck. You reveal all 10 cards and it turns out you don't have any monsters at all. Those 10 cards will be shuffled and placed back onto the Deck Zone. The effect of "Reasoning" then disappears.
