Basicly, your goal to win is to make the game end in a tie. Got three {fiend hunter}s and no other creatures in play? Congratulations! You win! Both players hit zero at the same time? Did you cause it to happen? Congradulations! You win!

Would it be a race to drop {Platinum Angel} vs. {Abyssal Persecutor}?

that could be one way. But I'm sure there are many other ways than that

Theoretically no game can really end in a draw. One must concede, have their life at 0 or lose by another method (decking, {Battle of Wits}, {Door to Nothingness}, ect.). Only thing considered to end a game in a draw is an infinite loop that neither player can end.

{Fiend Hunters} wouldn't end a game, because you "MAY" exile another target creature - you can do it forever and eventually clock yourself and you'd be the one to lose. 3 {Oblivion Ring} with no other non-land permanents would force the game to trigger infinitely that you could not break - no "MAY" clause.

If {Fiend Hunters} are to be considered an infinite loop, then really anything that requires you make choices (like passing priority) could lead to a similar standstill.

Hmmm honestly seems not much fun.

Yeah, I was playing M12 DotP and I didn't realize  {Shepherd of Rot} dealt damage to everyone. So with my second head's consent I triggered it and the game was a draw.
