Like a BOSS!

"Until end of turn" effects end.  Right on the dial.

If he has a mass blink spell then it would work.  No need for sundial, just blink the ones you wanna keep.

Exile all nonland permanents target player controls. Return the exiled cards to the battlefield under their owner's control at the beginning of the next end step.

Any ideas how to steal all the creatures at once

You can, however, {insurrection} to take all, {sudden disappearance} yourself to exile everything, play a {sundial of the infinite} from your hand after (has to be after or it'd get exiled with sudden disappearance), then tap it at the end step to permanently exile all those insurrected creatures.

Yes, it takes a bajillion mana and exiles all of your own non-land permanents, but it works!

Ok so I'm a little confused. My understanding of {sundial of the infinite} is that end of turn effects nvr happen. So why won't the orginal combo work?
Title: Re: Stealing creatures
Post by: scarsabrex on June 30, 2012, 06:05:33 PM
reminder text includes "this turn and end of turn effects end".

it's not the turn stipulation that is ended it is the actual effect. take {giant growth}. if you use sundial of the infinite the buff will end. same with temporary control effects. they will end because they end at the end of turn and you are ending the turn eith sundial of the infinite.

Right. The trick with the Dial is to look for "At the beginning of next end step [ DO THIS ]." This is a triggered ability, which, if you wait til it goes on the stack, will go ๐Ÿ’จpoof๐Ÿ’จ with the dial.

If you Dial before the trigger, it'll just come around *next* end step. (your opponent's).

Ah I see ok so now I see why Jester is always harping on timing.

So {sudden disappearance} and {sundial of the infinite} would permanently exile your opponents creatures, no? Provided you have proper timing

Not just all of their creatures, but all non-land permanents. Goodbye creatures, enchantments, auras, artifacts, AND planeswalkers!

Built a deck around this and {glimmerpoint stag}s, {flickerwisp}s, and {galepowder mage}s, and it is hilarious.
