See Draw a card for the game action.

A Duel results in a Draw when both player's Life Points reach 0 simultaneously, or if both players satisfy a Win Condition simultaneously. A Duel also results in a Draw if it is interrupted due to external circumstances.

Also, these cards effects can cause a duel to end in a draw:

• "Exodia the Forbidden One": Both players simultaneously draw all 5 pieces of "Exodia", such as during the first draw of the game, or via card effects like "Morphing Jar", "Card Destruction" or "Emissary of the Afterlife".
• Both players' Life Points drop to 0 simultaneously, such as with "Self-Destruct Button" or "Ring of Destruction". A lesser-known method to end the Duel in a Draw is through cards such as "Attack and Receive".
• When your monster and your opponent's monster both remain on the field or both are destroyed, on the turn that "Last Turn" is activated.
• Both players are required to draw more cards than they have in the Deck, such as with the effect of Morphing Jar.

A Match is declared a Draw if all 3 composing Duels result in a Draw or 1 Win each and one Draw.

• Note that match draws do not exist in KONAMI sanctioned tournaments and extra games will be played until there is a clear winner.
