<p>The game is a draw. MTG's rules are not designed to try to prevent draws. This is perhaps most evidenced by the card <a class="mtg-autocard" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer" href="https://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?name=Divine%20Intervention">Divine Intervention</a> which can specifically cause the game to end in a draw.<br></p>

Note if you want to link to a Magic card you can use [mtg:Card Name], also if you make an edit to your answer just make the edit, don't point out that you changed something.

Fair enough, thanks for the pointer on [mtg:Card Name]. This was my first post in this exchange and I wasn't sure of the style preferences here. I know some places prefer people to make obvious edits after initial post.

<p>I am building an edh deck for about 5 dollars and was wondering,
If I cast <a class="mtg-autocard" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer" href="https://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?name=Sickening%20Dreams">Sickening Dreams</a> dealing more than enough damage to kill my opponent and I at the same time, who wins?</p>

<magic-the-gathering><mtg-commander><mtg-multiplayer>
Who wins when everyone takes lethal damage simultaneously?

The game is a draw. MTG's rules are not designed to try to prevent draws. This is perhaps most evidenced by the card [Divine Intervention](https://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?name=Divine%20Intervention) which can specifically cause the game to end in a draw.
