| Aug 28, 2019 at 21:28 | comment | added | user22925 | @GendoIkari In tournament Magic, players (usually) have 50 minutes to finish their best-of-3 match. If the match goes past 50 minutes, then we go to turns, where the players only have 5 turns left to finish the current game (see boardgames.stackexchange.com/questions/47252/…). In this example, if Alice wins game 1 with 2 minutes left, there's no time to finish game 2, so she wins the match 1-0. | |

If her concern is that attacking right now could result in some unforseen counter from Bob, then she isn't refusing to win, she's simply playing very cautiously. | |

If you miss out on your chance to win for whatever reason, that's your problem. What you have to watch out for is leaving the game in the same state as it was previously. That's not allowed. | |

| Aug 27, 2019 at 23:35 | comment | added | user22925 | Perhaps it could be claimed as unsporting? I don't know, which is why I'm asking. | |
| Aug 27, 2019 at 23:33 | comment | added | Joe W | I don't see how it would be but I think it is a different issue to refuse to win a game than to refuse to concede. Not to mention that would all depend on the other player not running out of cards. | |
