A [[Duel]] results in a '''DRAW''' (Japanese: {{ruby|引|ひ}}き{{ruby|分|わ}}け ''Hikiwake'') when both players satisfy a [[victory condition]] at the same time.

Examples:
* Both players' [[Life Points]] become 0 by a single card effect at the same time, such as that of "[[Self-Destruct Button]]", "[[Destruction Ring]]", or "[[Double-Edged Sword]]".
* A single card effect causes both players to draw cards when neither player has enough cards left in their Deck, such as that of "[[Card Destruction]]" or "[[Morphing Jar]]".
* A single card effect causes both players to add all 5 pieces of "[[Exodia]]" to their hand, such as "[[Emissary of the Afterlife]]" or the above "Card Destruction" or "Morphing Jar". This can also happen during the initial draw of the game, which is the only way to DRAW before [[Zero Turn Kill|either player starts their turn]].
* Both players activate "[[Final Countdown]]" on adjacent turns, and then the later player uses "[[Pyro Clock of Destiny]]" to advance their "Final Countdown" by one turn, causing both to win simultaneously 19 turns later.
* At the end of a turn when "[[Last Turn]]" was activated, both players' monsters remained on the field or both left the field. This is the only card whose text specifically mentions a DRAW.
* It is also possible for two different types of victory conditions to be fulfilled by one effect, such as completing "Exodia" by returning a piece from the field to the hand that was Summoned by "[[Relay Soul]]".<!-- There's an official ruling stating that this is a DRAW, link? -->

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/Limited Cards ==
The following cards were placed on the Forbidden/Limited List either in part or entirely due to their ability to end a Duel in a DRAW. Note that some of them might have also be restricted for additional reasons that are not related to this (and as such, not listed here).

{| class="wikitable"
! Card
! Status
! Reason for causing DRAWs
|-
| [[Morphing Jar]]
| {{Forbidden|Forbidden}}
| Both players have to discard their entire hands and draw 5 cards simultaneously.
|-
| [[Card Destruction]]
| {{Forbidden|Forbidden}}
| Both player have to discard their entire hands and draw the same amount of cards simultaneously.
|-
| [[Last Turn]]
| {{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]]
| {{Limited|Limited}}
| 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 Limited ever since. Prior to this change, this card used to be the most consistent way to end a Duel in a DRAW.
