What are all the possibilities for winning or losing the game?

In Magic Online if your clock counts to zero you lose, even if you won the first game of the match and this is the second. Also if you don't respond for 10 minutes the computer drops you from the tournament. |

From the comprehensive rules, Rule 104:
These are basically all variations on the same three concepts -- 0 life, no card to draw, or specific text -- but some points are worth mentioning. First, poison counters - I don't know if there are any Standard cards which give players poison counters, but once that was a viable option for making someone lose. Secondly, the "0 life" and "no card to draw" conditions both make you lose "when a player gets priority". This means you can pay your last life to make your opponent lose and force a draw -- but only if you pay life as part of a cost, not an effect (since if it were an effect, you'd lose as soon as it resolved since someone would get priority immediately after). The drawing part is also interesting -- if you have to draw more than you have in your library, you draw whatever you got and then lose when a player gets priority. This means you can force a draw with an effect that makes you draw a card when you can't and simultaneously kills your opponent (ideally by making them draw their last card as well, for extra "OMG" credit). But eventually, in 99% of games these won't matter. Just get to one of the basic three conditions and you're set. |

Game loss is also an option in tournaments. But the cases of that happening while playing aren't so common: you'd have to be a bad player haha. |
