Sudden defeat
I was at 2 in standard against esper control. My turn, trigger of the second chapter of mirror braker saga. I'm choosing what to discard. My avatar explodes. Defeat. I'm ranking to get mityhic. It's desapointing. Platform: mobile arena

You attacked and Adeline triggered, giving you another 1/1. Which gives you life, through your Orators, but also makes you draw a card due to Inspiring Commander. I suspect, that your library had simply run out of cards, so that card draw made you attempt to draw from an empty library. That is a "you lose" condition in Magic.

I played a very lengthy match which I was winning and suddenly I get the defeat screen when my creatures were attacking.
1. I was playing a human deck with the Horn of Gondor to stack for every human I have. This stacks exponentially so the card pop up messages go into the 30+ every time. I have hallowed priest that gets +1/1 every time I gain a life. And I gain life because of impassioned Orator and Inspiring commander, inspiring commander also makes me draw a card when I gain life.
Towards the end where the bug happened. I was attacking and the pop up messages where resolved automatically, because there are so many. Suddenly when my creatures were about to attack. I get a sudden defeat. I had 66 life. It was quite a lengthy match so it feels very sour to lose this suddenly for no reason.
2. It was on iOS. iPhone 14.
3. see step 1. I think this happened because of a timer that ran during the messages that were being processed by the game. And because it took so long to automatically resolve them all. The timer ran out and giving a defeat. Nonetheless. There was no timer on my side running.
4. The attack should've went through and kept the match on being played as it was.
5. See screenshots just before it happened.
