Defeat due to timeout but opponents stack ran out all timers
- Generate a large number of tokens (like 300+) resulting in life gain and scrying for the oponent . During the time frame in which the opponent is choosing to scry top/bottom for the 300+ token generation gaining life all timers on both sides will time out even though there is nothing presented to the player waiting for the stack resolution.
- Upon turn change the player taking the next turn will loose with defeat due to timer exhaustion even though they were never presented with any way to stop timers on their side from being used.

I have ben having this problem alot too. I don't know if it was a part of an update, but now when it won't let you do anything because of the pop ups, the game give a message saying you haven't responded in awhile, and if you don't respond soon you will concede.
They need an option to turn off or skip these pop ups. -

I had recently encountered this issue as well (no screenshots this time I'm afraid). The opponent was able to produce a stack large enough to time us both out, and I was given a defeat the next turn despite having no action to take (nor initiating the stack to begin with).
I don't know what update had changed this but before all that would happen is the game would result in a draw. Now it can be abused, if an opponent can simply generate a large enough stack they can cheat the win. While ending in a draw was very disappointing, at least there was no incentive to engineer this situation maliciously.
In the short term ending the game in a draw would be preferable. In the long term the game should be able to auto-complete a stack where no further player actions are possible. Programmatically this should be a relatively simple undertaking.

I got the same one: the opponent is creating a lot of creature tokens leading to a timeout. I don't have any problem with it if he's got a timeout for being long but I got the timeout too without any action possible!! Even more: I lost the game because of his timeout
