If my opponent is not paying attention to the game, and I play Erika, clearly announcing it, but he/she doesn't notice, then I play another Erika, and only after I have played and done the effects of the second Erika does he/she realize that I played 2, does he/she get to draw only up to 3 cards, or up to 6, since I already played something else?
(this happened in a real torunament though not DCI, and the jugdge ruled that since I played another card and its effects, my opponent couldn't draw the 3 for the first one, since it was his fault for watching another battle)

I would almost say UP TO THE JUDGE.
If it is JUST a casual game WHAT is wrong with giving the opponent a chance?
If it is not LET A JUDGE decide.
JUST TO BE FAIR not only would you announce the card BUT you could REMIND and tell the player WHAT s/he can do when you play Erika.
THAT way YOU know the opponent had a choice and DECIDED not to draw any cards.
This would help your case also if a JUDGE would have had to make a ruling.

This reminds me a situation I've seen a lot more lately.
I will be playing Slowking and my opponent, rather than clearly announcing his/her desires to play a trainer, will simply hold the trainer out for me to see. And then try to play it quickly.
I get the impression they are trying to slip it by me, hoping I forget about playing my Slowking.
As I understand the rules, if my opponent doesn't announce what they're doing and, as a result, I do not get the opportunity to flip for Slowking, that's a mistake on my opponent's part.
A less-than-honorable Slowking player could use such a situation to his/her advantange.
So I believe it is in the best interest of a player to make sure his opponent knows exactly what is being played. Not to help his opponent, but to protect himself against an opponent who may use the situation against the player.
