#empty library

At what point do you lose the game if you have no cards left in your library? Does it have to be in your draw step or just any time you would draw a card? A level 1 judge told me the other day that it has to be on your draw step

You lose the next time a player would receive priority after you attempted to draw from an empty library. This works any time you would draw from an empty library, not just in the draw step.

If I mill my opponent for more than they have in their library is that an automatic loss or do they lose the game when it is their turn and have to draw a card? This came up in a commander match the other day and was relevant to who won the game.

Simply having an empty library doesn’t cause a player to lose the game; attempting to draw from an empty library does.

If I have no cards left in my library can I dredge to avoid losing is can I not dredge because I have no cards left?

No.

To Dredge N, you have to have at least N cards in your library. If you don’t, then you can’t dredge.
