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"
