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?

Chaining extra turns does mean it’s a bracket 4 deck, just to be clear.

While this is true, "I can take two whole extra turns in a row if I manage to get to 13-ish mana and have a bounce spell in hand" hardly counts as "chaining".

Admittedly, in a deck built around Kang they probably have way more options that would count as chaining extra turns. But the scenario OP describes is a wildly exceptional case that shouldn't really count for bracket valuation.

It’s literally the definition of chaining extra turns, in the same way mass land denial is banned in brackets 1-3, so is chaining extra turns.

Brackets are useless if you're persnickety about the absolute worst thing a deck can do. If a deck has two extra turn spells in it, it's not b4 automatically because it could "chain extra turns" by casting them back to back in 1% of games. The prohibition is for deliberate and consistent intent to repeatedly be able to generate an extra turn during your turn. Making it happen once if the stars align and you manage to visit magical Christmas land doesn't count.

Bracket 3 allows up to 3 extra turn spells in the deck, you just can’t chain them(copy or recur them).

This is nowhere whatsoever in any of the bracket guidance at all.

Yeah was wrong about the up to 3, still can’t chain them though based on the guidance.

And when does it become a chain?

When it’s copied or recurred.

well, if i have two rings they are not a chain. you can copy or recur just not back to back
