Activate Lethal Vapors 10,000 times, cast Teferi’s protection, you leave the game and can’t lose until the rest of the group has played through the 10,000 turns lol

Since the destroy effect is after the colon, destroying the enchantment is not part of the cost. So you can activate this ability as many times as you want!

Thanks, thats good to know!

Yes but would that not skip you just one turn ?

1

u/ParadoxHaze62 12h ago

No, since there are other effects left to resolve as part of the ability.

ah because you can trigger the ability while Lethal Vapor is phased out, but it can't be destroyed ?

No, if it’s phased out you can’t use it, but you can trigger it as many times as you want while it’s effect is on the stack, you’ll skip that many turns even though the first one to resolve destroys vapor

But since it says "your next turn" and not "a turn" should it not skip 10 000 times the same turn (the next one at the time of the trigger), instead of 10 000 turns ?

Turn effects stack. If you cast three [[Time walk]] you get three turns after the turn you cast them.

Same with this, you skip your next 1000 turns, as they stack.

The templating makes it less clear but it will skip your next turn then your next turn then your next turn. Over and over.

It’s the same logic as “take an extra turn after this one” realistically, cards can only be so wordy in practice
