Bug that allows endless loop of life gain and damage to opponent
I just played an opponent how had the cards Starscrape Cleric and Bloodthirsty Conqueror. As they would gain life, they would do damage to me. Then once they did damage to me, they would gain life and the cycle would repeat endlessly until I was dead. I feel like that this was not meant to be allowed as I literally couldn't play anything and just lost without even playing any card. Please look into this and fix it. Thanks!

MTGA could mitigate this loop by implementing rule 104.4b:
104.4b If a game that’s not using the limited range of influence option (including a two-player game) somehow enters a “loop” of mandatory actions, repeating a sequence of events with no way to stop, the game is a draw. Loops that contain an optional action don’t result in a draw.

This is, sadly, working as intended by the idiots who allowed Bloodthirsty Conqueror to be published. This card should be banned in every format.

There is nothing to fix. It's a stupid combo, but a legit one.
