Well, I mean, if you look at the article, it encodes a turing machine, so... oh man what about playing Shahrazad inside of the turing game...

So there's an entire section of the rules that had to be added, just for Shahrazad. http://media.wizards.com/images/magic/tcg/resources/rules/Ma... is the link, Section 715, subgames. Now that I'm re-reading, I _think_ that you actually win by decking, not by life: you just play with a larger than usual deck, and
715.3. Because each player draws seven cards when a game begins,
any player with fewer than seven cards in his or her deck will
lose the subgame when state-based actions are checked during the
upkeep step of the first turn, regardless of any mulligans that
player takes. (See rule 704, “State-Based Actions.”)
