Obeka's Ability and "At the end of YOUR turn" actions
Asked by lil_cheez 2 years ago
Greetings everyone!
Happened in a virtual game other day:
My friend was playing Sedris, the Traitor King as his commander and in response to the Unearth trigger at the end step activated Obeka, Brute Chronologist - But to this point there's nothing new, we all know that interaction very well!
Problem is, I was next in turn order and wanted to to stuff "at the end" of his turn, just as we do all the time.
We wondered if I could do this AFTER Obeka's ability had resolved (because it could matter in the board state). I didn't know, as Obeka clearly "ends the turn"...
Ultimately I agreed to do my stuff in response to Obeka's ability, but the question made me wonder, and here am I.
Thanks in advace!

As Omniscience_is_life alluded to, there is a round of priority if a triggered ability triggers (if the active player controls The Gitrog Monster and discards a land, for instance). The round of priority also happens if state based actions are preformed (such as if a creature with -1/-1 counters dies due to Giant Growth wearing off). In general, yes, you'll have to do your stuff in response to the activation, but if you see that a state based action will be preformed or a triggered ability trigger, you can hold off. In the even there is a round of priority, the clean up step will be immediately followed by another clean up step.
Omniscience_is_life says... Accepted answer #1
Obeka's ability grants no players priority after its activation--and it sends the game directly to the cleanup phase, which, again, no players gain priority (unless a triggered ability is put on the stack) in.
