Drawing a card is a form of "[[add a card|adding a card]] from the Deck". If "[[Blackwing - Breeze the Zephyr]]" was drawn by a card effect, then you can Special Summon it. This is why "[[Thunder King Rai-Oh]]" distinctly states its exception in its monster effect, and "[[Drastic Drop Off]]" clarifies that drawing is considered adding a card to the hand.

Incidentally, there is a difference between "number of draws" and "number of cards drawn". The number of draws refers to the number of times any number of cards are drawn. For example, "[[Pot of Greed]]" allows the player to draw 2 cards, but the number of draws is only 1 because both cards are drawn at the same time. However, cards like "[[Heart of the Underdog]]" only facilitate drawing one card per effect activation, but the effect itself can be activated any number of times.

Drawing a card (Japanese: ドロー Dorō) is a method of adding the top card of the player's Main Deck to their hand.

Cards can be drawn in one of two ways:

  1. For the turn player's normal draw during their Draw Phase. This does not occur on the first turn of the Duel.
  2. Due to a card effect that specifically uses this term.

It is possible to draw multiple cards at once. For example, "Pot of Greed" and "Guarded Treasure" allow the player to draw 2 cards at once, but each of these effects is only a single draw (for the purposes of cards such as "Solemn Wishes").

Only cards that specifically say that a card is drawn do so. Cards such as "Conscription" and "Reinforcement of the Army" can adds cards from a player's Main Deck to their hand to the Graveyard, but they do not draw cards.

If a player is unable to draw because they do not have enough cards left in their Deck, that player loses the Duel (known as Decking Out).
