General

A card is drawn automatically at the start of a player's turn. Upon starting a battle, each player is presented with three cards, and may choose to replace any number of their cards for a chance at different ones.

Ability

Several abilities/spells, such as LegacyArcane Intellect, LegacyWrath or LegacyFlare, allow you to draw cards when played.

Minions

Some minions have a draw card mechanism activated upon either entering the battlefield (Battlecry), dying (Deathrattle) or simply by attacking. If a minion gets silenced they lose the draw card perk.

"Strategy"

Card Advantage is a very important part of card games. What this means is when you play a LegacyLoot Hoarder, if you attack your opponent's LegacyKnife Juggler, both minions will be destroyed. This leaves you with drawing a card, and your opponent with nothing.

It's very important in gameplay to make profitable trades (eg. trading your LegacyPatient Assassin for their LegacyMolten Giant) but another method of gaining advantage is to use multiple cards (eg, using LegacyBloodfen Raptor to break LegacySunwalker's divine shield, THEN attack with LegacyPatient Assassin) which can only be done profitably if you have more cards in hand, and on board, than your opponent.
