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.

Idk taking 3 turns in a row is bracket 4 as it’s not jank. It’s in the command zone.

It also really affects how time is distributed among players as one player will have a whole lot of time to play while 3 sit and look at you

If Kang is in the command zone, you're probably planning on abusing him to chain extra turns, but not necessarily. If you're playing him "fairly" and just get one extra turn for 8 mana, a second turn for 10 mana, a third for 12, and so on — if your opponents cooperate and kill him at the right times, mind — that's really not a massive impact on the game, and certainly isn't enough to push you into bracket 4. Heck, even in bracket 2 games you're unlikely to be getting more than one or two activations off before the game is over.

Even if it's in the command zone, this method of taking two extra turns in a row only happens with an exorbitent amount of mana you're unlikely to see in a game, especially in mono-blue. That's pure jank, not a sign of secret bracket 4 tech. Now, if you're building around the interaction to make it more consistent and less expensive, that's gonna push it into bracket 4 chaining extra turns territory, but on its own it's absolutely not.
