What these cards do

Card draw is how a Commander deck keeps up over a long multiplayer game: the player with more options usually wins the late game.

Engines such as enchantments that draw every turn pay off over time, cheap spells that draw a card replace themselves right away, and some spells refill every player's hand at once.

Rules note: when an effect tells you to draw several cards, you draw them one at a time, and a player who has to draw from an empty library loses the next time state-based actions are checked.
