Decking out vs other games

A player who has to draw from an empty deck loses. There is no fatigue damage, no hand size limit, and no draws: if both leaders fall at once, the player who caused it loses.

Is it like…

Fatigue in HearthstoneNo

No. An empty deck in Hearthstone deals growing Fatigue damage to your hero. In the Azuki TCG you lose the moment you have to draw from an empty deck.
