Azoth2099, I like the Necropotence and Ad Nauseam suggestions. I am not into easy wins with cards like Test of Endurance, and Felidar Sovereign, or similar mechanics.

Ferth on Fog Draw EDH

I got to play a bunch this weekend! The deck performed well I've updated the list to match what I've currently got, my local shop was missing some singles.

Generous Gift moved back to the maybeboard but only cause I couldn't buy it this weekend.

I found that the deck worked quite well but I obviously couldn't close out games. I had a few scenarios where Selvala, Explorer Returned could repeat pretty much forever thanks to Sword of the Paruns or Umbral Mantle and Smothering Tithe + 4 players in the game. Flipping my commander till deck out was too painful to ever actually do so games ended with scooping.

The take away is that I need to be able to end games just to save everybody's sanity. More things like Felidar Sovereign and Psychosis Crawler are needed. Helix Pinnacle is a meme and I'll basically never pull it off. So here is the maybe board for actually finishing games.

Viseling Storm Seeker Black Vise Iron Maiden Sword of War and Peace

Some other cards that look interesting to me are Credit Voucher to help me find the above win conditions and Champions of Minas Tirith as another tax. I found that the deck was excellent at filling everybody's hands as expected.

I tested it against my tribal angels modern deck (Non lifegain), i ran into some issues, in my opinion could use the following:

• Needs more general removal, Path to Exile is nice but have a look at March of Otherworldly Light, Seal from Existence
• Its too slow for aggro and then does not provide enough power in late game, i would suggest Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx and Archangel of Thune
• Alternative wincons if you cannot win anymore by creature damage, something like Felidar Sovereign

First, if you have questions about card interactions, please use the Rules Q&A section of this site. It has some added functionality, such as the ability to mark an answer when your question has been resolved.

I have moved this thread for you.

On to your actual question, no, you cannot do this.

The first part of the Beginning Phase is the Untap Step. As is stated in Rule 502.4 “No player receives priority during the untap step, so no spells can be cast or resolve and no abilities can be activated or resolve.”

The very next Step is the Upkeep Step. By that point, it is too late to do what you wish.

Now, if you want to do this, you could do something similar by activating Winding Canyons and casting Felidar Sovereign during the End Step of the opponent proceeding you. That would work and give about the same amount of time for responding. It would not, however, be on your turn, so things like Grand Abolisher could not protect your victory.

Let's say I have Winding Canyons out. I want to play Felidar Sovereign. Is there room for me to pay 2 tap Winding Canyon before my upkeep, play Felidar Sovereign before my upkeep, and win if I have 40 Life...?

First, I keep forgetting to mention that you are at 101 cards, so you will need to cut a card. On to the cards I wanted you to keep in mind...

Necropotence and Sensei's Divining Top interact favorably with Bolas's Citadel

Spike Feeder interacts favorably with Archangel of Thune

If you like Felidar Sovereign you may want to consider Test of Endurance

Some thoughts:

• Opposition Agent is a possibly and suitably oppressive card, particularly with tutoring and fetching running rampant. Great fun.
• Raffine's Tower is a fetchable tri-land, which is great early game for color correction.
• Imperial Seal has been reprinted, so it's an extra cheap tutor that might be handy.
• Counterbalance can be delightfully obnoxious, and while it's combo potential with Sensei's Divining Top, you do have Soothsaying as an alternate option. It's countermagic, but it's exceptionally repeatable. Also, in terms of countermagic- and control-like things, I'd say to go for things with benefits, like Commandeer, Desertion, Vindicate (which I say is a must in those colors), Anguished Unmaking, Cyclonic Rift, Sunder, The Meathook Massacre...
• Dream Trawler might be pricey, but it's also very obnoxious to face. You could also think, in terms of creatures and creature-generation, about Sigil of the Empty Throne, Heliod, the Radiant Dawn  ^Flip, Field of the Dead...
• Felidar Sovereign is another alternate win with fewer life required than the Test of Endurance, though Aetherflux Reservoir can be another fun way to ensure your life shoots sky-high and gives you ammo to destroy things. I'm also partial to Kokusho, the Evening Star in any black deck.
• A fun (but slow) way to swipe creatures is Athreos, Shroud-Veiled. Great fun, and it's fairly hard for opponents to deal with if it's not a creature.

Assuming this is commander Starfield of Nyx is a possibility assuming you aren't running mostly auras. You could pair this with Heliod, Sun-Crowned or Nykthos Paragon as they both have the enchantment type as opposed to Archangel of Thune.

There is Approach of the Second Sun or Felidar Sovereign if you are okay with such cards.

Faith Healer + Aetherflux Reservoir which works as you are gaining life anyways.

Ajani's Chosen, Archon of Sun's Grace, and Sigil of the Empty Throne are pretty straight forward amass a board and swing.
