That would pretty strange indeed. As you discard down to ten after drawing two cards at the end I see only two possibilities to empty both discard and deck: 1. all your creatures and permanent enchantments are placed at bases - but still they can't be counted yet or 2. you draw empty your deck and discard and hold the cards in hand BEFORE you have to discard down to ten.
