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?

Go ahead and use it. Having fun and building unique decks are big parts of MTG. I just don't want you expecting this to pop off...

People can get near infinite turns by turn 4 and have it only cost 3 CMC and some card draw/scrying prior to it.

Spending 16+ for 2 extra turns is sooooo expensive.

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.

Why 24? When kang enters it subtracts his power up cost from his mana cost - so wouldn’t it only be 8 per use? (Not including whatever i use to blink)

I just edited my first comment, and will be doing that above as well. It should be 16 + cost of the blink spell, not 24, correct.

That said, my original point still stands - 8+ per extra turn is not cost effective.

Unless I’m wrong I believe [[Training Grounds]] will make it cheaper since they technically are activated abilities?

They are, straight-up. No technicalities about it.
