what happens if you have an Abyssal Persecutor out and you play a Platinum Angel?

They don't conflict with each other, actually, so as Shyachi said they'd both simply ensure that no one can win and no one can lose.
Though for it to truly be a foolproof (in-game) stalemate, you'd need to make them indestructible, get them shroud, and have a Tajuru Preserver on your side as well. And even then someone could still just stack enough Shrivel s or Infest s or the like, untargeted -X/-X spells, until the Angel choked.
Nothing is truly invulnerable in MTG. Except the mighty Chimney Imp . But we all know he's just broken.

regenerate FTW! lol
and what about chimney imp? am i just missing something? or is it a joke?

don't worry, it's a joke. And i'm pretty sure a hard nobody-can-lose-or win lock with Abyssal Persecutor and Platinum Angel would require at least 4 other cards (educated guess) and as such be slightly counterproductive.

true. You'd rather use those 6 cards to win the game rather than stall it, right?

i dunno i could potentially see a situation where it would be kinda funny to completely stale mate a game.... besides which if you can get rid of your prosecutor, then the opponents would eventually deck themselves.

hmmmm... that is almost a deck idea.... painfully slow death by decking!

you could give both Abyssal Persecutor & Platinum Angel Savage Silhouette as and added defense, or until you get the cards to give them shroud or indestructibility
then just regenerate them if they somehow get killed

ahahaha, the stalemate deck idea reminded me of one of my friend's stupid suicide deck. he just filled the entire deck with all 0 cast cards, and 4 of each pact cards, so it's a first turn suicide deck, it's the most emptiest victory ever

False. You forget about Chimney Imp 's debilitating hand-reduction ability, which destroyed so many otherwise game-winning combos. Does Storm Crow have that kind of power? I think not, sir.
Also, as for regeneration: Don't forget that a -X/-X doesn't destroy a creature. It reduces toughness to 0, which means the creature's picked up and dumped in the grave by the next state-based action check - and since it's not destroyed, a regeneration shield won't save it.

All of you are wrong, if you sucessfully stick Abyssal Persecutor and Platinum Angel , the Universe implodes :)
November 12, 2010 8:45 p.m.
since neither of you can win or lose.... does decking really resolve this?

Only once you remove one or the other, does the decking do anything. If you remove the (Abyssal Persecutor), you win. If you remove the (Platinum Angel), you lose.
Shyachi33 says... Accepted answer #1
it just means no one can win, and no one can lose, till one or the other is destroyed/sac'ed/removed/bounced back to hand.
