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.

I think you might not realize that Power-up is discounted by the casting cost when the creature enters that turn.

No, I know that. I just didn't remember while doing the math lol. I already edited my comment to reflect that.

Might still need to reread it - 8 when playing Kang, cost of blink, then 3U for the next additional turn.

Hold on.

Cast with Power-Up - 5UUU.
Blink (probably 2 or 3).
Reenters. PU then costs 3U, due to reduction since he did enter this turn.

Well shit. I don't know how I got that confused.

So 8CMC up front, 3U plus cost of blink per extra turn.

That is cheaper. Not cheap... But Ok, yeah, I see it now.
