replace until' etc.) and he has seen it, what do other folks do to
rectify this?
In tourneyplay, what would be required?

120. Card Drawing
This section includes infractions relating to inappropriate card drawing,
card viewing, and related topics.
121. Card Drawing - Drawing Extra Cards
Definition:
Players are not considered to have drawn extra cards when they place a card
face down on the table (without looking at the card) in an effort to
accurately count out cards as they draw. This penalty should be applied only
once to one or more cards if they are drawn in the same action or sequence
of actions, at the judge's discretion.
Philosophy:
Any time players draw extra cards, there is always a chance they will go
unnoticed by their opponent, potentially giving them a significant
advantage. Because of this potential for abuse, the penalty for drawing
extra cards is fairly severe. A player can accidentally look at extra cards
very easily, so a separate, less severe penalty is established for that
infraction called Looking at Extra Cards (section 122).
Correcting the problem always involves putting the extra card (if known, or
a random card from the player's hand if not known) back in the deck and
reshuffling the deck, unless some other player has, through the course of
the game, gained a knowledge of some portion of the player's deck, in which
case the card should simply be returned to the top of the deck without
shuffling. This ensures that the game will be impacted as little as
possible.
Improper Drawing at Start of Game (section 123) is also a separate, less
severe penalty.
Penalty:
Warning. For the game to continue, the situation should always be corrected.
When it is obvious which extra card was drawn, the card should be placed
back in the deck. If it is unclear which card is the "extra" card, a random
card should be selected from a player's hand. The opponents of the player
committing the infraction should be allowed to see any cards the other
player has seen due to this infraction.
An automatic game loss should be applied if a player has drawn so many cards
that a judge is unable to correct the situation.
122. Card Drawing - Looking at Extra Cards
Definition:
This could include dropping cards on the floor, turning a card over while
shuffling an opponent's deck, or revealing cards from their deck in the act
of misplaying a card. This penalty also applies when a player has looked at
a card in an opponent's deck or hand in the course of a game (such as
turning over an extra card while resolving a random discard effect).
A player is not considered to have looked at extra cards when he or she
places a card face down on the table (without looking at the card) in an
effort to count out cards he or she will draw.
This penalty should be applied only once to one or more cards if they are
seen in the same action or sequence of actions.
Example:
(A) A player accidentally flips over a card while shuffling her opponent's
deck.
(B) A player flips over an extra card while drawing from his deck.
(C) A player looks at the bottom card of his deck when presenting it to his
predator for cutting/shuffling.
Philosophy:
A player can accidentally look at extra cards very easily so the penalty is
less severe than Drawing Extra Cards. Drawing Extra Cards is a separate,
more severe penalty because of the increased potential for abuse. The card
seen should be shuffled back into the deck or placed on top of the deck as
appropriate (see 121) if it was the top card of the deck that was seen, or
returned to the area where it came from otherwise.
Penalty:
Caution. In addition to the appropriate penalty, the situation should always
be corrected.
An automatic game loss should be applied if a player has seen so many cards
that a judge is unable to correct the situation or has received too much of
an advantage by seeing an extra card (for example, the player sees the next
card which reveals some crucial, strategic information).
