Draw Draw has two meanings in the Magic game. 1. A player draws a card by putting the top card of his or her library into his or her hand. If an instruction tells a player to draw more than one card, the cards are drawn one at a time. An effect may move cards from a player's library to that player's hand without the player "drawing" them; this makes a difference for abilities that trigger on drawing cards or that replace card draws. 2. A drawn game is a game where the game ends and there is no winner. See rule 102.4.	Draw Draw has two meanings in the Magic game. 1. A player draws a card by putting the top card of his or her library into his or her hand. This is done as a game action during each player's draw step. It may also be done as part of a cost or effect of a spell or ability. If an effect moves cards from a player's library to that player's hand without using the word "draw," the player has not drawn those cards. This makes a difference for abilities that trigger on drawing cards or that replace card draws, as well as if the player's library is empty. See rule 423, "Drawing a Card." 2. A drawn game is a game where the game ends and there is no winner. See rule 102.4.
