What happens when two players die at the same time

Asked by Baconfish 6 years ago

If I play against an opponent who has Tainted Remedy in play and I throw down an Essence Harvest on a creature with power greater than both mine an my opponents health, what happens then.

Does the spell resolve and all life loss/gain is distributed at the same time so that we both die and it results in a tie?

In this case, because Tainted Remedy is a replacement effect and not something that uses the stack, yes - both players die at the same time.

In a two-player game, nothing in particular happens, and the game ends in a draw. In a multiplayer game, those players leave the game along with their permanents, abilities and whatnot, and the rest of the players will have to dish it out. If you wonder about anything in particular, feel free to ask!

I was mostly wondering for the 1v1, as I haven't personally run into a draw before, suiciding like that might be fun when there's no hope of winning.

Thank you for the quick answer
