What happens if you skip your next turn, then take an extra turn?
Asked by Gamer7129 13 years ago
Say I load up a Magosi, the Waterveil , skipping my next turn, then I fire off another loaded Magosi, taking an extra turn. IN THAT ORDER!!! Do the two abilities cancel each other out, or do I get an extra turn, then my opponent gets two turns? I know that if I did it in the reverse order, I would get no extra turn, but is it the same for the other order?

Follow up thought on the Magosi, the Waterveil .
I think this card could have been abused a lot had it not been for its drawback of having to return to the owner's hand upon activation. It's just too clunky.

Yes they cancel each other out. It is the same.
If you somehow activate Magosi's third and fourth abilities during the same turn, the effects will cancel each other out. The turn you skip is the next one you would take, which is the turn created by Magosi's fourth ability. It doesn't matter in which order the abilities resolved.

@ quiver, wizards already knew they were putting proliferate into the next block, so the return to hand thing was kinda necessary to stop mad brokenness in standard. Didn't stop them with valakut though, i guess.

I'm kind of thinking it's the old can/can't throwback.
One ability says you can take a turn after this one. The other ability says skip you next turn, or in other words, you can't take a turn again the next time it is your turn.
I don't think it matters the order, because of the wording. Your next turn you miss is normally the turn after the opponent's next turn. In this case the turn you are missing is the turn that you force to happen immediately.
Nothing happens for the opponent. They just have been watching you tap lands and activate abilities wondering what you were trying to accomplish. haha.
