  • 102.2 - There are several ways to win the game. [CompRules 2005/08/01]
  • 102.2a - A player still in the game wins the game if all of that player's opponents have lost the game. [CompRules 2005/08/01]
  • 102.2b - An effect may state that a player wins the game. (In certain multiplayer games, this may not cause the game to end; see Rule 102.3g.) [CompRules 2007/10/01]
  • 102.2c - In a multiplayer game between teams, a team with at least one player still in the game wins the game if all other teams have lost the game. Each player on the winning team wins the game, even if one or more of those players had previously lost that game. [CompRules 2005/10/01]
  • 102.3 - There are several ways to lose the game. [CompRules 2005/08/01]

  • 102.3b - If a player's life total is 0 or less, he or she loses the game the next time a player would receive priority. (This is a state-based effect. See Rule 420.) [CompRules 2005/08/01]
  • 102.3c - When a player is required to draw more cards than are left in his or her library, he or she draws the remaining cards, and then loses the game the next time a player would receive priority. (This is a state-based effect. See Rule 420.) [CompRules 2005/08/01]
  • 102.3d - If a player has ten or more poison counters, he or she loses the game the next time a player would receive priority. (This is a state-based effect. See Rule 420.) [CompRules 2005/08/01]

  • 102.3f - In a multiplayer game between teams, a team loses the game if all players on that team have lost. [CompRules 2005/08/01]
  • 102.3g - In a multiplayer game using the limited range of influence option, an effect that states that a player wins the game instead causes all of that player's opponents within his or her range of influence to lose the game. [CompRules 2007/10/01]
  • 102.4 - There are several ways to draw the game. [CompRules 2005/08/01]
  • 102.4a - If all the players remaining in a game lose simultaneously, the game is a draw. [CompRules 2005/08/01]
  • 102.4b - If the game somehow enters a "loop," repeating a sequence of events with no way to stop, the game is a draw. Loops that contain an optional action don't result in a draw. [CompRules 2005/08/01]
  • 102.4c - In a multiplayer game between teams, the game is a draw if all remaining teams lose at once. [CompRules 2005/08/01]
