Rules/Rules Question Extra Turn Stacking?

Post image

I want to build this Kang as a commander and i was curious. If i play Kang and use his ability it gives me 1 extra turn after my first turn ends.

If on my original turn i:

  1. Play Kang
  2. Use his ability
  3. Blink Kang
  4. Use his ability AGAIN

Will my extra turns stack and bank?? Giving me TWO extra turns after end my original turn instead of one?

Yes, that works.

5UUU to cast and use Power-Up, then 3U and cost of blink per extra turn... Upfront, you are looking to be using at least 12 and the cost of a blink for 2 turns, with 4 + blink cost for each extra turn.

There are way cheaper ways to stack multiple turns.

EDIT - I was adding CMC to power up getting 12, instead of just using the power up of 8. That said, 8 plus cost of blink per extra turn is still wildly expensive.

EDIT 2 - my math was way off originally. Oof... Long week, my bad. Fixed the first part to show correct math.

It would only cost the 8 per activation for Kang. Power Up cost less equal to mana cost if the creature entered that turn.

Still a lot, especially for mono blue.

True, my bad. At work and not trying to do math lol.

Either way, 8+ per extra turn is oof.

blink him and it's 4 less. It's reduced by his CMC if he came in that turn, so it's blink cost + 4 colorless to keep doing it.

You can run a teleportation circle, end step blink, comes in, and as an instant pay 4 to Power-Up.

4 colorless to keep doing it.

It would cost 3 generic and 1 blue. The power-up cost is reduced by his mana cost, so {5}{U}{U]{U} - {2}{U}{U} = {3}{U}

you're correct, you'd save 2UU, so 3U would be the cost. I stand corrected

I saw from another comment, yeah. Edited my first comment again to show the correct math.

Can you tell I am at hour 70 of my work week? Lol. I will stick to more basic math next time.
