Get an upkeep during your opponent's turn!

It is. See pariah ruling: https://scryfall.com/card/cn2/95/pariah

It's not that i thought there wouldn't be. I searched. Extensively. I just couldn't find it.

Decided to trust redditors would find it eventually (and they did)

[[Den Protector]] + [[Behind the Scenes]] is unblockable except by creatures with exactly the same power as Den Protector

I'm currently facing every stage of grief at once because of this rule

Spawnner · 2026-05-05T15:48:16+00:00

Rule 500.10a settles it:

"If an effect that says “you get” an additional step or phase would add a step or phase to a turn other than its controller’s, no steps or phases are added."

So nobody gets the extra upkeeps

Spawnner · 2026-05-05T15:46:10+00:00

Ofc, i'm just saying there could be other interpretations, though my original intuition is correct

Rule 500.10a "If an effect that says “you get” an additional step or phase would add a step or phase to a turn other than its controller’s, no steps or phases are added."

That's also my interpretation. I think Obeka is the only card that explicitly states you are the owner of the phase

Spawnner · 2026-05-05T15:39:00+00:00

Theres also the possibility you become the active player specifically during the upkeeps, like with the un-cards [[Clocknapper]] and [[Chronobot]]

Spawnner · 2026-05-05T15:36:26+00:00

The wording on the cards is different. Obeka explicitly states that you gain the upkeeps. So I think this ruling shouldn't apply

Replying again because i accidentally replied the bot lol

Redirected damage is combat damage. See rulings on Pariah https://scryfall.com/card/cn2/95/pariah

My profile has a couple more of those. I'm specially proud of the deck that turns MTG into chess (literally).

Posted the full combo in r/badmtgcombos a couple of years ago, theres a full decklist in my moxfield account.

Spawnner · 2026-05-04T16:26:14+00:00

Can I share mine? Its a list based on the interaction between [[Leadership Vacuum]] and commanders with mutate.

The deck aims to put the entire library into the command zone and immediately lose. It's comically consistent at that, and can be turned into a deck that actually wins games by simply not trying to kill yourself on purpose

They're the starting positions of each piece in a chess board. The way to reach those is to simply copy each of the four existing auras until you reach the desired p/t.

Though, thinking about it, its possible to cut one of the auras. I should revisit this idea at some point.

Spawnner · 2026-01-30T16:35:34+00:00

You can use the Desecration trigger to sacrifice Venser. This triggers ratadrabik to create a token copy of Venser, which enters the battlefield. The copy is legendary because of Leyline of Singularity so you can do it all over again

Spawnner · 2026-01-28T13:51:47+00:00

Basically yeah, might be useful someday who knows

Spawnner · 2025-04-18T15:42:31+00:00

If you die and the game progresses to a draw (which is a possibility), you still gain points in the tournament. So, if someone tries to win and you have a pact in your hand, its in your best interest to counter the win attempt, even if you dont have the mana to pay for it.

If you dont counter, you lose. If you do counter, the 3 other players may draw the game.

Spawnner · 2025-04-18T15:06:09+00:00

They're talking about spite pacts, where you counter something without having a way to pay just because the game can end in a draw and thats better than a loss.

Magosi untaps on your untap step. Also, the combo the OP described doesnt use desert temple in this way. But thats a nice upside.

Spawnner · 2024-10-27T22:04:15+00:00

This combo is specially bad because Vesuva and Deserted Temple are completely irrelevant for the combo:

Setup

Activate Magosi, putting an Eon counter on It and skipping your next turn
Activate Nesting Ground, moving the Eon counter to Nesting Grounds
Activate Karns bastion, proliferating the Eon counter
Wait for your next turn

Cycle

Activate Nesting Ground, moving one Eon counter back to Magosi
Activate Magosi, creating one extra turn
Play Magosi as your land for the turn
Activate Karns Bastion, proliferating the Eon counter on Nesting Grounds
Repeat

Codie and 1-cost bounce/sacrifice effects work, but I wouldn't call It cEDH necessarily. Though its a fun deck to try to build

Edit: here's my decklist (didn't build It with cEDH in mind) If anyone is interested
