Finally, clock 1 card from the top of the deck for refreshing the deck.

In the case of a deck having 0 cards left, immediately halt all resolving of effects, turn the cards in the waiting room facedown and shuffle the cards before placing them on the deck area as the rebuilt deck, then continue resolving any effect halted, if any.
