Mtg when do you lose with an empty library?

like what if you drew your last card this turn and your opponent has a jace and forces you to draw, do you lose when you try to draw or do you just lose when you can't draw during you're draw?

cause if I don't lose then I woulda forced him to attack me with an aluring siren and gotten the last counter on quest for ancient secrets and would have probably won in another two turns

    If you have to draw a card and you cannot then you lose. There are a lot of cards based on the idea of "milling" the opponent, and forcing them to get through their library quickly so they lose the game because of not being able to draw rather than from losing life.

    If you are supposed to draw a card, regardless of whether it's because it's your draw phase or it's because of a card's effect, and you cannot draw the number of cards you're supposed to draw, you lose.You would have lost when your opponent used Jace.

    Yes, if you cannot draw you lose. Try Elixir of Immortality. It is an artifact for one colorless and has the ability to pay two colorless and tap to gain five life and shuffle your graveyard and the Elixir back into your deck. Unless your opponent has an answer to that, you get your graveyard back, five life and the Elixir.
