GreError
It is extremely easy to get GreErrors causing the game to end in a draw when in reality you should win. With ratadrabik on the board with Mondrak if you play Jaxis for it's biltz cost, use his ability to target ratadrabik and usually this is enough to cause the game to lock up until it ends with GreError Winner: Draw. However there are other ways to do it such as vesuvan diplomacy with mondrak or ratadrabik, can also be caused with things like ratadrabik and drivnod, or anything that causes a bunch of tokens with a creature that triggers on creature entering the battlefield such as lunarch veteran or Elas-il Kor.

I've had a similar thing happen to me like this:
- Mondrak, Glory Dominus,
Ratadrabik of Urborg,
The Jolly Balloon Man and
Marvin, Murderous Mimic are on the board.
- I tap Jolly to copy Mondrak and I choose the original Mondrak to keep from the legendary rule.
- This creates 10 Mondrak tokens
- I tap Marvin (using Jolly's ability) to copy Mondrak again - choosing the original Mondrak to keep when the legendary rule kicks in.
- This sets off Ratadrabik's ability on the stack 236 times
- I get a message that says "Unexpected Match Complete
The current match has ended for an unexpected reason.
GreError
Winner: Draw"I would have won the match though?

This also happened to me when casting Doppelgang with X=10, targeting various mana producing creatures and artifacts, and:
- Nyxbloom Ancient
- Kinan, Bonder Prodigy
- Primeval TitanSome of them were token copies, not the original cards.
I also could tap around 50 mana before casting it.
I can understand why there need to be limits, but tell me and make me choose a smaller X, don’t draw the game.
