Can you play a card whose command you cannot fully carry out, such as a discard with an empty hand?
The designer confirmed that a card can be played even when part of its command cannot be carried out.
Yes. You play the card and carry out as much of its command as you can. A discard with no card to discard does nothing, and a command with no legal target does nothing, while the rest still resolves. Discard is an effect, not a cost of playing the card, so a 5 can be played with an empty hand.
