This is an exception to rule 108.5 in the official CR due to rule 716.2 in the official CR taking precedence. The previously stolen identity card in the restarted game will leave the game as its original owner has lost that game.",
        "The Metamorph’s replacement effect will apply no matter how a player loses the game: due to a state-based action (as a result of having a life total of 0 or less, trying to draw a card from an empty library, or having ten poison counters), a spell or ability that says that player loses the game, a concession, or a game loss awarded by a judge.",
        "In a multiplayer game using the limited range of influence option (such as a Grand Melee game), if a spell or ability says that you win the game, it instead causes all of your opponents within your range of influence to lose the game.
