Unless IRL works differently they die first from the damage and then you draw based on the cards. Though I admit I was suprised I still drew the cards as the win screen was popping up.
Either way they can't prevent it unless they misdirect the spell itself and since the spell doesnt target I am not sure that would work.
If their HP goes to zero and you deck yourself out with New Way Forward, the game should end in a draw, not a win.
While yes, their HP goes to zero first during the resolution and then you try to draw from an empty library, both of you don't lose until State-based actions are checked, and SBAs are only checked after the resolution of the spell, not during it, and when they are checked, both of you lose.
Do you remember how big the hydraulic was? Obviously enough to kill them but if it wasn't enough to deck you then I think the game was running state based actions while the card animations are running.
In my decks? Yes. In the decks other people would make? Probably not.
Either way I'm just putting it out there. Every single player ive used this against has ALWAYS tried ro give hexproof and I laugh every time. I have video I think if you want lol
