Official rulings

  1. If the player has no nonland cards in their hand, you can still search that player’s library and have them shuffle it. (2012-07-01)
  2. The cards you’re searching for must be found and exiled if they’re in the graveyard because it’s a public zone. Finding those cards in the hand and library is optional, because those zones are hidden (even if the hand is temporarily revealed). (2012-07-01)
