Drawing Extra Cards


 * DC – Minor: (Warning)
 * This penalty is appropriate when a player has drawn cards from his or her Deck when not allowed to do so, and the cards can be clearly identified by both players or logically identified by a judge. This penalty also applies to situations in which cards are accidentally revealed. The cards should be shown to both players and then returned to their appropriate areas, in their original order.
 * A player accidentally draws a card when not allowed to do so but does not add the card to her hand.
 * A player accidentally draws a card and adds it to his hand. A judge is able to logically identify which card was drawn due to effects that have already been played.
 * A player accidentally knocks over cards from the top of his Deck.


 * DC – Major: (Game Loss)
 * This penalty is appropriate when a player has drawn cards from his or her Deck when not allowed to do so, and the cards cannot be clearly identified by both players or logically identified by a judge. Drawing extra cards when not allowed to do so damages the game state and must carry a heavier penalty. A judge should always attempt to recreate the situation to logically

determine which card(s) were drawn. If the judge and/or both players are not completely sure which card(s) were drawn, this penalty applies.
 * A player accidentally draws an extra card via an effect and adds it to his hand, with no way to correctly identify which card was added.
 * A player resolves a search effect, selects a card from her Deck, then adds it to her hand without revealing the card to the opponent.
