Unlike a Duel, a [[Match]] can never end in a DRAW in official tournaments. If a Match would end in a DRAW, extra Duels are played until the Match is decided (even if the Match time limit runs out, in which case the Duels transition to sudden death). Outside of a tournament, a match can end in a DRAW if both players have one victory and one DRAW or if all three duels end in a draw.

Since ending Duels in DRAWs tends to significantly slow down official tournaments, many cards that easily enable DRAWs (such as the majority of the cards listed above) have been made [[Limited]] or [[Forbidden]]. One card, "[[Ring of Destruction]]", has specifically had its [[Card Errata:Ring of Destruction|text changed]] to prevent it from causing a DRAW, with the victory condition rules changed with it as a result

In card texts, the term DRAW is always written with all capital letters to distinguish it from the common term of "to [[draw a card|draw]] a card".

In the anime, a Duel that is interrupted prior to its conclusion is sometimes considered a DRAW. However, this largely depends on the context of the story, since interrupted Duels have also been treated as forfeit or no result.

| {{Forbidden|Forbidden}}
 
| This card directly determines the outcome of the Duel by having two monsters battle each other and declaring the victory of the player whose monster survives. If neither monster is destroyed, or if both are destroyed, the Duel ends in a DRAW. It is especially easy to pull off by using a monster that cannot be destroyed by battle, or that takes down the battling monster with itself.
 
|-
 
| [[Self-Destruct Button]]
 
| {{Forbidden|Forbidden}}
 
| Its effect specifically sets both player's LP to 0, making it an instant DRAW upon resolution in all cases. One of the main reasons was that players purposefully use it to escape from Duels they were about to lose, disrupting tournament result-keeping and time limits.
 
|-
 
| [[Ring of Destruction]]
 
| {{Unlimited|Unlimited}}
 
| This card was once Forbidden as its original effect destroyed a monster on the field and inflicted damage equal to its ATK to both players simultaneously, so it could end the Duel in a DRAW by destroying one whose ATK was higher than each player's LP. This is no longer possible, due the card being issued an erratum that forces it to destroy an opponent's monster whose ATK does not exceed their LP, as well inflict the damage to you first and ''then'' to the opponent, and has been kept to Unlimited ever since. Prior to this change, this card used to be the most consistent way to end a Duel in a DRAW.
