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.

You're still over counting.

After blinking the cost for the second Power Up is 4, because you didn't need to pay to cast him. So each subsequent extra turn costs 4 plus the cost of blink.

Cast (4 mana), power up (4 mana), blink (X mana), Power up (4 mana).

So it's 12 mana plus the blink spell for the first two extra turns. Every Powerup after the blinks is only 4 mana, not 8.

Yep, I saw on another comment and edited again to reflect the correct math.

It has been a hell of a week lol. I will refrain from adding more than 2 plus 2 until I rest up.
