Another Round is one of those cards players keep asking about. Here is, in plain words, what its official text says, the rulings published by Wizards of the Coast, and the combos players actually run.
Official card text
Exile any number of creatures you control, then return them to the battlefield under their owner's control. Then repeat this process X more times.
Complete guide
Another Round is a powerful mass-flicker spell that allows you to trigger your creatures' enter-the-battlefield abilities multiple times in a single turn. By investing extra mana into X, you can loop your creatures in and out of exile to gain overwhelming board value. It is the perfect tool for white decks looking to reset their board or maximize 'ETB' triggers.
What It Does
Another Round allows you to exile any number of creatures you control and immediately return them to the battlefield. Because the spell says 'repeat this process X more times,' the entire sequence of exiling and returning happens once, plus an additional time for every increment of X you paid for. If you cast this for X=0, the process happens exactly once.
Step-by-Step Resolution
When the spell resolves, you first choose any number of creatures you control to exile. They are immediately returned to the battlefield under their owners' control. Then, if X is greater than zero, you perform that exact same process again. You can choose the same creatures that just returned, or a different set entirely, since they are considered new objects. All abilities that trigger during this process wait until the entire spell is finished resolving before they are put onto the stack.
Common Mistakes
A common error involves tokens and attachments. If you exile a creature token, it ceases to exist the moment it leaves the battlefield and will not return. Similarly, any Auras attached to your creatures will be put into the graveyard, and Equipment will fall off and stay on the battlefield. Also, remember that you cannot respond to the individual 'loops' of the repeat process; players only get priority once the entire spell has finished its repetitions.
When to Play It
This spell is best utilized when you have creatures with powerful effects that happen when they enter the battlefield. It can also be used defensively to remove negative counters from your creatures or to untap your board for blocking, as creatures return to the battlefield untapped and as new objects.
Interaction examples
Open the ArmoryIf you use Open the Armory to find an Equipment and play it, but your opponent later disables your creature with a debuff, you can cast Another Round. By exiling your creature and returning it, you reset the object, though the Equipment found via Open the Armory will become unattached and need to be re-equipped.
Sevinne's ReclamationImagine you have a creature that returns a sorcery from your graveyard to your hand when it enters. If you cast Another Round with X=1, that creature leaves and enters twice. After Another Round finishes, both triggers go on the stack, allowing you to pick up Sevinne's Reclamation and another card, providing massive card advantage.

No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
You don’t have to choose the same set of creatures each time you repeat this process.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #3· Wizards of the Coast
Once an exiled creature returns, it’s considered a new object with no relation to the object that it was. Auras attached to the exiled creature will be put into their owners’ graveyards. Equipment attached to the exiled creature will become unattached and remain on the battlefield. Any counters on the exiled creature will cease to exist.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #4· Wizards of the Coast
If a token is exiled this way, it will cease to exist and won’t return to the battlefield.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #5· Wizards of the Coast
Abilities that trigger “When [this creature] enters the battlefield” or “When [this creature] leaves the battlefield” will trigger each time that creature enters or leaves the battlefield as a result of Another Round’s effect. If those abilities require targets, you won’t choose those targets until after Another Round finishes resolving, when those abilities are put onto the stack.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #6· Wizards of the Coast
All abilities that trigger while Another Round is resolving are put on the stack after Another Round is finished resolving. All such abilities controlled by the player whose turn it is are put on the stack first, then those controlled by the next player in turn order, and so on. For each player, they can put their abilities on the stack in the order of their choice. Abilities don’t have to be put on the stack in the order in which they triggered.
