Does the stack always fully resolve?
Ex: If my opponent and I are both at 10 life, and he casts {Sorin's Vengeance} on me, and I {Reverborate} it, do I win, or does the game continue with us both at 10 life?
As far as I know, as soon as a player has zero life, the game ends, the stack is resolved but does not save the player from the state of being below zero life.
I think u would win because the copy would resolve first. Ur opponent would be like 😱

The stack doesn't resolve all at once. After each object on the stack resolves, players pass priority and the state is checked. They'd be 💀.

That's what I thought, my friend claimed that the rest of the stack always resolved, even if one player was at 0 life
No, a SPELL or ABILITY on the stack need to finish resolving, but players can die while there is still stuff on the stack.
Say you are at two life and you play a spell that says "All players lose 5 life. You gain 10 life.". You would first go to -3 and then gain back to 7 before anything else happens.
lol and now all I can think of is how funny it will be to explain Split Second.

No! First on last off!
Yes which means the {reverberate}d vengeance kills the opponent before the original kills the original target
Okay, so he still argues that, even after reading the thread, that he's still correct. So what if the example was just a simple "deal 10 damage" spell, and I {Reverberate} it would I still win?
Yes! Your card activates first, so he dies first, so u win

Tell your friend the read "The Stack" topic that I posted earlier. I just made it sticky.
Okay, so he refuses to believe that you have directly answered his question: "Does the Stack finish always, even if one player is at 0 life?"
Try to be as blunt as possible
No a card will fully resolve but if a player dies after the card resolves but is in mid stack he will lose the game

Even if the card at the bottom of the Stack would cause the other player to lose the game?
The game checks the state between the resolution of each thing on the stack. Part of checking the state is the check to see if any player:
-is at 0 or less life
-has attempted to draw from an empty library
-has ten or more poison counters
-has had anything else happen that would cause them to lose.
PlayerA is at 2 life, and it's their first main phase:
A: "I'll cast {Lightning Helix}, targeting player B."
B: "In response, I'll cast {Shock} targeting you, A."
When {Shock} resolves, A is dead while the Helix is still on the Stack.
If it's a multiplayer game, all permanents owned by that player and objects on the stack owned by that player are exiled.
Meaning if anything is on a stack and someone dies mid stack, game is over.

No.
Thank you, hopefully this will clear things up

If he still doesn't follow, i'll dig up the appropriate rules.
