Would activating {Sundial of the infinite} on the same turn you used {sneak attack} to bring in creatures save them from being sac at then end of turn?

I think it would be sacrificed at your opponents end step.

what you can do is activate {sundial of the infinite} in response to the trigger.

And the ability on the stack would be exiled!  Great idea!

TheRagingMage

And if you put multiple creatures onto the battlefield, all the triggers will be exiled!

So this would work and I need to activate this at the beginning of my end step? And it wouldn't  retrigger on opponents turn?

TheRagingMage

You would activate it after the ability triggered that would exile the creatures, on top of the stack.  The abilities would be exiled and would not resolve.  Then you would be able to keep the creatures on the battlefield forever, or until they die.

""This turn" and "until end of turn" effects end" wouldn't that cause you to sac your creatures anyway? And using it to counter the ability on the stack... Wouldn't that be like "ok you're exiled and ill end my turn now instead!" And the new end of turn would trigger the "until end of turn"??

It isn't "at end of turn", but rather, "at the beginning of the next end step." This means that it will only trigger during your next endstep, and when it goes on the stack you can simply exile it by ending the turn. If it did say, "at end of turn," then this wouldn't work.

Oh oops didn't realize the wording xD sorry
