Infinite Combat Loop with Genji Gloves
Happened in a Final Fantasy Premier Draft. I was at 20 health with Malbaro on board. My opponnet was at 12 health and had Genji gloves and one creature on board. I equip my Malbaro with with Dark Mages Staff and use treachery to remove their only blocker and then attack for 5 dropping them down to 6.
My opponnet then uses Unexpected Request to steal my Malbaro attaching Genji gloves and attacking. He then untappes and attacks again. This brought me to 10. This should have ended the turn giving me back the Malbaro but instead they got another attack, and then another. I am sure if I had more life they would have kept getting attacks.
I am assuming my opponent knew about this bug as they GG'd me before the first attack. It appears that their may be an issue with using an opponents creature with genji gloves creating an infinate number of attack phases.
attached is a screenshot of the final state of the game.

Read what Genji Gloves does. Your opponent's Malboro had double strike due to the Gloves, and combined with Genji Gloves giving a second combat phase (which is what it DOES per its text), hit for 2x5 damage, then 2x5 damage again, for a total of 20. A second combat phase is all that Genji Gloves created, and is all it took to win the game.
