Each time a player is instructed to draw a card, they take the top card of their deck and add it to their hand. If an ability or game step instructs a player to draw multiple cards in a row, the cards are drawn one at a time until the total required number of cards have been drawn. The number of cards needed to refill your hand during your “draw cards” step is determined before you draw any cards.
If a player needs to draw cards and cannot because their deck is empty, that player shuffles their discard pile to reset their deck, and then continues to draw.
