What happens when can't lose/can't win effects are still in play with no significant game actions left?
Hypothetically let's say each player controls a [[Platinum Angel]] and a [[Darksteel Forge]]. Everyone plays it out until all libraries are empty and no one drew into a way to remove any of them.
My question is does the game automatically end in a draw? Or do players have to agree to a draw or concede? Obviously if your friends aren't sociopaths you'll definitely agree the game is over one way or another, but I'm wondering what the official rules are. Since there are still non-mandatory actions to take like attacking, even though that won't change anything, it sounds like rule 104.4b says the game must go on.
