Platinum Angel vs. Laboratory Maniac
Asked by kaesea2 13 years ago
In a two-headed giant game an opponent has Platinum Angel and I have Laboratory Maniac out. At the beginning of my team's turn I have zero cards in my library. Does the game just continue until either we lose or the Angel is removed?

Yes the game will still go on:9/22/2011: If for some reason you can't win the game (because your opponent controls Platinum Angel, for example), you won't lose for having tried to draw a card from a library with no cards in it, because the draw was still replaced.

That's correct. Each time you would draw a card from that library, Laboratory Maniac
replaces it with "you win the game", but Platinum Angel
says you can't win the game, so you don't.
614.6. If an event is replaced, it never happens. A modified event occurs instead, which may in turn trigger abilities. Note that the modified event may contain instructions that can't be carried out, in which case the impossible instruction is simply ignored.
