When Timewarp is played on an opponent's turn (via Promising Future or Mystic Reversal), does the player who cast it get two consecutive turns?

Answer
Ruling: When Timewarp is played on an opponent's turn through effects like Promising Future or Mystic Reversal, the caster takes an additional turn inserted into the turn order, which in a 2-player game results in two consecutive turns for that player.
Sequence:
- Timewarp resolves during opponent's turn
- Current turn completes normally
- Timewarp caster takes their inserted turn
- In 2-player games, this is followed immediately by their regular turn (resulting in two consecutive turns)
- In multiplayer games, turn order resumes normally after the inserted turn
Nuances:
- The comprehensive rules do not explicitly define "extra turn" mechanics, leading to interpretation based on natural language reading of the card
- The card text "take a turn after this one" is interpreted to insert a turn into the turn order rather than replace the caster's next regular turn
- If multiple Timewarps are played in the same turn via Promising Future, the last one to resolve would determine who gets the next inserted turn
- This ruling is based on Rules As Intended (RAI) rather than explicitly stated Rules As Written (RAW)
- The Chinese version uses "再" (again) which translates closer to "take another turn"
Does this answer look correct?
