If a player casts Plagiarize and targets a player who controls a Consecrated Sphinx, what will happen when the player with the sphinx would draw a card?

When the player who controls Consecrated Sphinx goes to draw a card, Plagiarize will replace that with their opponent drawing a card, triggering the Sphinx again. The player with the Sphinx can say yes to that trigger until the Plagiarize player loses the game as a result of decking. As far as I can tell from reading the rules regarding a player leaving the game, the effect of Plagiarize will still apply, replacing any remaining draws with nobody drawing cards, but if someone can find a rule that contradicts that, the controller of Consecrated Sphinx should be able to draw cards up to twice the number the controller of Plagiarize initially had, with the ability to actually stop themselves if they like.
