What happens if both players' life total reaches 0 simultaneously?

Asked by Arorsthrar 9 years ago

Both players are at 2 life. My opponent casts Hurricane for x=2. So what happens after that? Who wins/loses, is it a draw, how do you decide who goes first the next game, etc.

The game is a draw by the following rules:

104.3b If a players life total is 0 or less, he or she loses the game the next time a player wouldreceive priority. (This is a state-based action. See rule 704.)

104.4a If all the players remaining in a game lose simultaneously, the game is a draw.

Oops I'm stupid. The Tournament Rules answer the other half of the question:

If the previous game was a draw, the player who decided to play ordraw at the beginning of the drawn game chooses.
