Medomai the Ageless 4WBLegendary Creature Sphinx ?FlyingWhenever Medomai the Ageless deals combat damage to a player, take an extra turn after this one.Medomai can't attack during extra turns.4/3I don't know how i personally feel about this card. It nice to have a extra turn, but what good is it if you can't use Medomai again?
Why was Time Walk good on turn 2? Extra turns are always great. The worst thing that can happen is you have an additional draw step and get to untap all your mana. Imagine playing this dude on turn 6, then attacking on turn 7 and playing AEtherling post combat. Then attacking with aetherling for 6 on turn 8. You have dealt 10 damage, and threaten to deal lethal next turn with both creatures. It's another finisher for control decks.

I just feel the setup is too long and by then the game should have ended before you pull something like that off.

Control decks don't usually end the game by turn 7 or 8. It's more like turn 17 or 18. They'll grind until the opponent is out of resources (top decking) and then they take control of the game.

It's too early to tell whether this guy is good or not. He doesn't really have an effect on the board the turn he hits, which, at least in the current metagame, is really bad for a 6-drop. His effect is really nice (xtra turns r gud), but having to deal combat damage to get there could be tricky.
We'll just have to wait until next Standard season to see.

Ogre Battledriver and Aurelia, the Warleader ? Who knows. Temporal Mastery is a card that I love but could never manage to keep in my American control deck. That 6 CMC spot is pretty tight with AEtherling and the fact that when you cast, you leave yourself vulnerable. I'm not sure this will see play at 6 CMC, but I want to like it.

Personally, I like the idea of gift of immortality on Boros Reckoner

Because it's not going to be the only thing you have. It costs 6 to play, so you're going to have some other cards in play when you drop it. Nothing on the card says you can't attack with other creatures on extra turns. Or activate Planeswalkers. Or cast more spells.
