Rulings
When you resolve the beginning-of-upkeep triggered ability, you first put a hunger counter on Fasting, then you check how many hunger counters it has. If there are five or more, Fasting is destroyed.
You choose whether or not to skip your draw step as that step begins. This ability is now separate from the beginning-of-upkeep triggered ability.
