-
If two or more Timesifters are on the battlefield, keep a careful record of which players get which extra turns. With two Timesifters on the battlefield, two extra turns are created for each turn taken.
-
A land card has a mana value of 0.
-
Each player must exile the top card of their library at the start of each upkeep step.
