Can a table judge remind players of mandatory effects like drawing for turn, and at what point should they intervene?

Answer
Ruling: Judges can intervene if a violation has occurred, but shouldn't stop them from occurring. When a mandatory draw is missed, the player simply draws the cards they are owed without a rewind. Both players can receive warnings - the player who missed the draw and their opponent for failure to maintain game state.
Nuances:
- Judges should generally not intervene constantly, as this prevents players from learning to independently manage their game state
- Intervening once to provide awareness is acceptable, but repeated intervention prevents actual learning
- The timing of intervention is when a violation has already occurred (after another action is taken), not before it happens
