Can an empowered draw let you pick any face-up card in a stack?

No. You can never dig through a stack of face-up cards: only the top face-up card is available to take, and an empowered draw adds the top cards drawn from the face-down stack as extra choices. More face-up cards in a stack come only from effects that flip face-down cards up, such as Ursula. A few posters argued otherwise, but the designer says only the top face-up card can be chosen.
