Obeka, Brute Chronologist and the Clean up Step
Asked by FatFreddiesCat 1 month ago
If I use Obeka, Brute Chronologist to end my turn at the beginning of the end step before triggers and before the clean up step, do the actions that normally take place during the clean up step still happen? Specifically, do I as the active player discard to maximum hand size and is damage removed from permanents?

Thanks. There was lots of info on the card, but I couldn't quite get it clear in my brain.

Yes.
When an effect ends the turn, all spells and abilities on the stack are exiled and play skips to the cleanup step. This happens regardless of when the turn gets ended.
Normally players don't get priority at all during the cleanup step, but should something weird happen like a creature dying and triggering a death trigger because it had Giant Growth and three -1/-1 counters, another cleanup step will happen afterward. There is no way to not discard or remove damage by skipping it.
