Mindslaver and Chronatog

Asked by smackjack 9 years ago

Mindslaver lets my opponent control my next turn. Can i skip that turn with Chronatog ?

No, you can't.

• 712.1b If a turn is skipped, any pending player-controlling effects wait until the player who would be affected actually takes a turn.

Only if your opponent controls the Chronatog

You can activate Chronatog 's ability, but that won't let you escape from the Mindslaver . "Next turn" means the next one that actually happens. Your opponent will still control you during your next turn after the skipped one. The rules about controlling other players happen to specifically address this situation:

712.1. Some cards allow a player to control another player during that player's next turn. This effect applies to the next turn that the affected player actually takes. The affected player is controlled during the entire turn; the effect doesn't end until the beginning of the next turn.

...

712.1b If a turn is skipped, any pending player-controlling effects wait until the player who would be affected actually takes a turn.
