There are several official ways of winning and losing a game of Magic. Forfeiting, or leaving a game, is always an option.
From the Comprehensive Rules
- 102. Winning and Losing
- 102.1. A game ends immediately when either a player wins or the game is a draw.
- 102.2. There are several ways to win the game.
- 102.2a A player still in the game wins the game if all of that player’s opponents have lost the game.
- 102.2b An effect may state that a player wins the game.
- 102.2c. In a multiplayer game between teams, a team with at least one player still in the game wins the game if all other teams have lost the game. Each player on the winning team wins the game, even if one or more of those players had previously lost that game.
- 102.3. There are several ways to lose the game.
- 102.3a A player can concede the game at any time. A player who concedes loses the game immediately.
- 102.3b If a player’s life total is 0 or less, he or she loses the game the next time a player would receive priority. (This is a state-based effect. See rule 420.)
- 102.3c When a player is required to draw more cards than are left in his or her library, he or she draws the remaining cards, and then loses the game the next time a player would receive priority. (This is a state-based effect. See rule 420.)
- 102.3d If a player has ten or more poison counters, he or she loses the game the next time a player would receive priority. (This is a state-based effect. See rule 420.)
- 102.3e If a player would both win and lose simultaneously, he or she loses.
- 102.3f In a multiplayer game between teams, a team loses the game if all players on that team have lost.
- 102.4. There are several ways to draw the game.
- 102.4a If all the players remaining in a game lose simultaneously, the game is a draw.
- 102.4b If the game somehow enters a “loop,” 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.
- 102.4c In a multiplayer game between teams, the game is a draw if all remaining teams lose at once.
- 102.5. If a player loses the game, he or she leaves the game. Likewise, if a player leaves the game, he or she loses the game. The multiplayer rules handle what happens when a player leaves the game; see rule 600.4.
