Final Fantasy Reveals Boardwipe Time Warp in One

Forcing a turn to end is one of the scarier things you can do in Magic: The Gathering. Any spells and abilities that are on the stack fade into exile, and any actions that could have been taken are lost. While players have ample ways to end their own turns for a small cost, forcing […]
