104.4a If all the players remaining in a game lose simultaneously, the game is a draw. 104.4b If a game that’s not using the limited range of influence option (including a two-player game) somehow enters a “loop” of mandatory actions, repeating a sequence of events with no way to stop, the game is a draw.

Who is the active player MTG?

attacking player

When can you respond in MTG?

To “respond to ” means “to act while is waiting on the stack to resolve.” This means that you can respond to something if and only if it uses the stack. For instance, I don’t believe you can respond to someone else’s untap phase, but you CAN respond to someone’s upkeep phase.

How do you lose in Commander MTG?

active player
