Stranglehold does what to a Timesifter?!

Asked by MagicalHacker 12 years ago

I have Stranglehold and Timesifter on the field... Now what?

Stranglehold does exactly what it says it does. If any of your opponents "win" one of the Timesifter triggers, the extra turn it gives them after the current one gets skipped, and the next turn will go to whoever was supposed to be next in order before Timesifter started inserting extra turns.

Is there some other more specific question you're asking?

No one could take an extra turn but you. So the rest of the turns would go like normal, and if your opponent has the highest card then when that extra turn comes up, it is skipped, if you have the highest card when the extra turn comes up, you take it.

Just like Stranglehold says,if an opponent would start an extra turn,he or she skips it instead. That means that,if one of your opponent revealed a card with an higher cmc than any other player (by Timesifter 's ability),and would then start an extra turn after the actual one,he or she won't do it because of Stranglehold . The same doesn't work for you : if it's you the one who revealed the highest cmc card you can take your extra turn without problems : Stranglehold doesn't prevent you on doing it.

This is crazy. Tempted to co-build a deck with a friend on this!
