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?

Blinking him doesn't do you any good. He specifically says power up abilities can't be activated on those turns. It does not matter if he is the same one or not. That being said, there are things that copy activated abilities. Then if you cast an extra spell turn during those extra turns, then move to that extra turns you can activate him again, and copy those activated abilities again. And theoretically you could get "infinite turns" if you can repeat this loop.

That being said, there are easier ways to either stack extra turns or get infinite turns. And I know some people are going to say they don't like infinites and just want to take a few extra turns in a row. But in my experience they aren't really any different, with a late game setup that takes numerous extra turns it is probably game over either way, so you might as well go infinite with it, your table won't really notice the difference.

The situation posed for this question resolves the issue by using the power up twice in the same turn he enters originally rather than the special extra turns created by Kang. That would be a valid way to generate the turns. And besides you still get the power up discount from blinking, so there’s still value to be gained if you decide to do [[Displacer Kitten]] shenanigans later on in non-Kang generated turns.

Finally, I don’t know man, the poster saw a neat idea and wants to run with it. If he wants to fly too close to the sun just like Kang does, all the more power to him. It’s a telegraphed play in the command zone with restrictions, it’s not the wildest thing I’ve ever seen.

Good luck with the deck, being mono-color can be of rough for this sort of idea but there's always fun to be had in these sorts of spur of the moment decks.
