Answer

Ruling: The player who forgot to draw receives no penalty (covered by "forgetting to draw cards" rule). The opponent who failed to call out the mistake receives a warning for "Failure to Maintain Game State."

Sequence:

  • Player forgets to draw when scoring from conquering
  • If opponent catches it but doesn't call it out: opponent gets warning for Failure to Maintain Game State
  • The missed draw is made up if no full turn cycle has happened
  • The player who forgot to draw gets no penalty

Nuances:

  • "Failure to Maintain Game State" warning is only given to players who don't call out another player's mistake, not to the player making the original mistake
  • The same principle applies whether the missed draw is from scoring or from a triggered ability like Kai'sa champion
  • For missed triggers specifically, the opponent decides whether the trigger happens or not
  • The remedy differs between forgot to draw from scoring versus missed trigger, but both have no penalty for the player making the mistake
