Continuum Blade

Continuum Blade

Equipment — 1H Weapon — Sword — Play Cost: 5

Class Restriction: Mage Paladin Warlock

At the start of each player's turn, if he didn't take the last turn, he takes an extra turn after this one.

Let’s consider a sequence of turns in the middle of a game between players A and B. If player A plays
Continuum Blade during the first turn, the sequence will be ABBAABB, and so on until the Blade leaves play. However, if player B destroys the Blade during the second turn of this sequence (after it triggers for the first time), the sequence becomes ABBABAB, and so on. In other words, when the Blade triggers and grants an extra turn, that turn is still taken even if the Blade leaves play before it starts.
