Bug - "Please take a different action or the game will end in a draw"
I was playing historic Bo1 on PC, version 2025.46.10.8083.1126785 of client.
I resolved a Doppelgang for x=4 targeting my opponent's Soul Warden, Righteous Valkyrie and Voice of the Blessed (and my Sanctum Weaver), the Soul Wardens and Righteous Valkyries all triggered life gain for the 16 new creatures which had entered. Each life gain triggered the 4 Voice of the Blessed to get a +1/+1 counter.
The game warned me to take a different action or the game would result in a draw.
The only action was to let the stack resolve. There was no other action to take by me or my opponent and the stack was finite. There was no infinite loop triggered.
The game ended in a draw.
There is no rule in MtG to state that a finite loop can result in a draw (rule 104.4), therefore this result is a bug.
The expected result was 104 life gain and 104 +1/+1 counters on each Voice of the Blessed.
I have attached a screenshot of the warning which corresponds to no rule in the game; I have also attached the log.

Something similar happened to me. I was playing a hope estheimmill deck. I was going to get a bunch of life gain to mill out my opponent with a raise the past but it ended in a draw because of all the triggers.......
