misdraw

Depict something wrong

To misdraw is to draw incorrectly or inaccurately—whether sketching a figure wrong, pulling a card improperly, or drafting a document with errors.

The word appears most often in card games, where a misdraw means taking the wrong number of cards from the deck: The dealer called a misdraw and reshuffled.
