Who dies first when everyone receives lethal damage?
Asked by MemoryLapse 5 years ago
In this scenario, I am in a game of commander. I am playing Thrasios, Triton Hero and Vial Smasher the Fierce storm. I have only a couple of win conditions: Isochron Scepter (with something like Lightning Bolt under it and a Paradox Engine out) and Aetherflux Reservoir . But sadly, both of those are irrelevant. Both scepter and reservoir are in my graveyard as well as all of my recursion cards. I have no way to shuffle my graveyard into my deck. The rest of my deck consists of mostly rocks and cantrips, but no clear way to win.
I am, however, able to storm off quite nicely with a Paradox Engine and generate 50-100 mana of each relevant color. I then find myself with a copy of Rolling Earthquake in hand.
If I cast Rolling Earthquake for a large enough amount of mana to reduce all player's life totals to zero or less life, how does the game end? Does any player win based on turn order? Do I win?
Thank you in advance for any insight you can give on the issue.
Game ends in a draw as state based actions are checked and there is no order in which players damaged by same source will due

Relevant rule:
104.4a If all the players remaining in a game lose simultaneously, the game is a draw.
State-based actions are checked simultaneously, so everyone would lose at the same time. Thus a draw.

(I should mention that this is in a four player game. It can be assumed that all opponents have no effects relevant to the scenario other than the fact they they are in the game.)
