This is an IPG 2.3 Gameplay Error - Hidden Card Error: https://blogs.magicjudges.org/rules/ipg2-3/ The fix is that the player who draws the extra card reveals their hand, then the opponent selects a card to shuffle back in to the player's library. > If a set affected by the error contains more cards than it is supposed to contain, the player reveals the set of cards that contain the excess and their opponent chooses a number of previously unknown-cards sufficient to reduce the set to the correct size. These excess cards are returned to the correct location. If that location is the library, they should be shuffled into the random portion unless the owner previously knew the identity of the card/cards illegally moved; that many cards, chosen by the opponent, are returned to the original location instead. For example, if a player playing with Sphinx of Jwar Isle illegally draws a card, that card should be returned to the top of the library.

If there are multiple correct answers, I'll choose the one that's most specific, ignoring any that seem like they were submitted with excessive specificity in order to take advantage of this clause. If there are no correct answers, I'll add the correct answer myself, then resolve to it.
