Can Tovolar, Dire Overlord transform twice in the the same turn?

Asked by DeathBySprnkles 3 years ago

I’m trying to figure out the order of operation for day/night and Tovolar, Dire Overlord  Flip. Say I have Tovolar, the Midnight Scourge  Flip and at least two other wolf/werewolf creatures on the field, and another player plays two spells. The next turn, it becomes Day and Tovolar, the Midnight Scourge  Flip transforms back to Tovolar, Dire Overlord  Flip.

Does Tovolar, Dire Overlord  Flip immediately just transform back into Tovolar, the Midnight Scourge  Flip if it still has two other wolves on the field at the beginning of upkeep or does the “At the beginning of your upkeep” ability not trigger because the initial transformation happened at the beginning of the upkeep?

Gidgetimer says... Accepted answer #1

The Day/Night mechanic transformation happens on the untap step. Tovolar will be Tovolar, Dire Overlord  Flip before the beginning of the upkeep and will trigger as long as you have two other wolves/werewolves.

724.2. As the second part of the untap step, the game checks the previous turn to see if the game’s day/night designation should change.
