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. Because of this, the card "[[Thunder King Rai-Oh]]" had to clearly make an exception in its lore, and the card "[[Drastic Drop Off]]" had to clarify that drawing is considered adding a card to the hand.

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]]").
  
Every turn during your [[Draw Phase]], you [[normal draw|normally draw]] one card from your Deck. In the OCG, during the first turn of the duel the player who goes first does not conduct their normal draw that turn (from March 21, 2014 onward).

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.
  
Some card effects can also let you draw cards, such as "[[Pot of Greed]]", "[[Royal Magical Library]]", and "[[Jar of Greed]]".

If a player is unable to draw because they do not have enough cards left in their Deck, that player loses the [[Duel]] by [[Deck out]].
  
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, like when resolving "[[Hand Destruction]]", as both players draw 2 cards at once. However, cards like "[[Heart of the Underdog]]" only facilitate drawing one card per effect activation, but the effect can activate any number of times.

Artwork of "Defense Draw", depicting a player drawing

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 by Deck out.
