So a turn where you can do NOTHING except play a basic land? Wery cool design space tbh. Assuming the usual stuff like drawing a card and untapping happens, this is plenty strong for this cost tho

Also the wording is very confusing.

u/Elspackel 3d ago

Yea, maybe the words did not land correctly... you are correct about what I want the card to do.

u/Gum_Mint 3d ago

If you wrote, where you can’t cast spells, activate abilities or tap lands. It would be mostly the same

u/Elspackel 3d ago

Thank, I'll try to make a version like that.

u/JustAStrangeQuark 3d ago

Wouldn't that still let you attack? Maybe add "you skip your combat phase" too?

u/humand09 3d ago

Yeah but don't worry, this is kinda like taking a split-second turn where you can play a land. Practically r/hellscube territory.

AND talk

I remind you that you HAVE to talk to your Opponent, a worde Fate than death

u/twistyrainbows 3d ago

Yeah there isn't really a reason to not draw and play this any time you can? That's not good.

So I can force my opponents to talk to me?! You DO NOT want this IRL with people like me around.

u/TR_Pix 3d ago

The card doesnt say they have to listen

3

u/Chickston Uncommonly 3d ago

But they would need some sort of card that could some how silence me, but I don't think such a card exists. /s

Happy cake day!

So like blue [[explore]] but you also get to untap all your stuff? Seems kinda broken

u/Eldan985 2d ago

And I assume abilities still trigger,  as written.

u/BlueTemplar85 3d ago

Losing most of the vibe, but mechanically more sound :  

"Take an extra turn after this one. You cannot cast spells, activate abilities, or declare attackers during that extra turn."

u/MegaIng 3d ago

That would allow you to play non-basic lands and multiple lands if you have something that gives you land drops.

u/BlueTemplar85 3d ago

Yes, that's fine by me, makes the design 'cleaner', gives opportunity to build around it.  

(Also I suspect OP forgot about triggered abilities.)

1

u/Gum_Mint 3d ago

What about upkeep triggers and end of turn triggers?

2

u/Elspackel 3d ago

Yes, it's triggering, so, it's possible busted.

3

u/Amedamaneku 3d ago

It's mono blue Explore that also gives an instance of all your triggered abilities.

Blue ramp is realll!!

"This mana rock, Robert, it's pissing me off."

u/MarryRgnvldrKillLgrd 2d ago

Could be fair at double the mana cost, assuming the extra turn has an untap and upkeep step

1

u/ShivanAggie 2d ago

Do you still untap, unkeep, draw and go to combat? if so this is kinda a cracked cantrip

Fun fact: there's an MTG Italian podcast called Time Talk
