Hello,

I would like to report a potential issue that occurred during a ranked match on MTG Arena.

During the game, my opponent had over 20,000 life, and we entered what appeared to be a deterministic loop involving two of my cards: Bloodthirsty Conqueror (Conquistador Sanguinário) and Starscape Cleric (Clériga do Firmamento).

The interaction created a continuous life-drain loop. There was no available response from my opponent, no triggered abilities pending on their side, and no replacement or prevention effects in play. The board state was stable, and the loop would inevitably reduce my opponent’s life total to zero.

At the moment the loop was resolving:

My opponent had approximately 16,000 life.

I had approximately 4,000 life.

There were no timeout warnings on my side.

No visible rule violations or missed triggers occurred.

However, the system suddenly declared me defeated without any apparent rule-based justification. There was no “draw due to loop” message, timeout indication, or rules explanation displayed.

Given the board state, the only logical outcome should have been my opponent losing the game due to life reaching zero.

Could you please investigate whether:

This interaction is functioning as intended under Arena’s loop resolution rules, or

There may have been a technical error in the match?

If necessary, I can provide additional details such as approximate match time, rank, and any other relevant information.

Thank you for your time and support.

Best regards,
