    If you don't reveal the named card (perhaps because it was in the top six cards of your library), you'll end up exiling your entire library. You don't lose the game at that point, but will lose the next time you're instructed to draw a card.

  • WotCOct 1, 2008

    You don't name a card until Demonic Consultation resolves.

  • WotCOct 4, 2004

    There is no way to make this card affect your opponent. It affects "you", and "you" means the controller of the spell. It has no targets.

  • WotCOct 4, 2004

    You must name a card that actually exists in the game of Magic.
