Medomai the Ageless 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

Flying Whenever Medomai deals combat damage to a player, take an extra turn after this one. Medomai can't attack during extra turns.

How it works : Medomai the Ageless

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    An "extra turn" is any turn created by a spell or ability. Notably, it doesn't include additional turns taken in tournaments after time expires for a round.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    It doesn't matter whose turn it is. In very rare cases, an opponent may be taking an extra turn and gain control of Medomai. Medomai can't attack during that turn.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
