What would happen in a game if I was to triple oblivion ring a creature with a platinum angel on field?

How do you "triple O-ring" a creature?

I don't know It was a question brought to me by a friend and the thought of the question made my head hurt lol

Well you only need one to exile a creature and then the other two can't legally target the same creature

I'm thinking you are referring to an infinite loop in which you "juggle" three {Oblivion Ring}s, each one entering and exiling a different one.

If so, unless there are 0 other legal targets on the field (which there would be if {Platinum Angel} were in play) it could create a loop that the user could stop by choosing a different target.
If for some reason the angel was untargetable and there were no other targets the game would end in a draw, since you have entered an infinite loop with no way out.

Fun fact: This would break MTGO for a long time. It might still break it.

I'd expect a rage-quit before then. 💣
