Unable to use Trekking Shoes with two cards left in deck
I recently lost a match in which I had two cards left in my deck, both of which I knew and either of which would have secured a win. I had a Trekking Shoes in hand, which could have gotten either card, but the game wouldn't allow me to play it. I understand why I might not be able to use a Trekking Shoes with only one card left in the deck, as I wouldn't be able to discard and draw a new card if I didn't like the first, but I had two cards left, so I could have executed every part of the card's instructions, and the game still wouldn't let me play it.
Is this a bug, or have I missed some part of the rules? Potentially relevant: I also had a Gutsy Pickaxe in hand, and the game wouldn't let me play that card either.

Yeah, this has been in for over a year now. There's a fundamental issue with the way the deck is designed, and without this limitation it's possible to draw from an empty deck and crash the game. The devs seem to have no interest in fixing it because it would require them to actually learn programming.
@TPCi_CursedSoup Please prove me wrong and say that they're working on a fixed deck.

There wasn't any item lock situation in play, was there? Like, a banette using Everlasting Darkness, or if you were playing expanded a Vileplume with irritating pollen in play? That is the only solution I can think of. Otherwise it is a bug.
