Second Chance 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
At the beginning of your upkeep, if you have 5 or less life, sacrifice this enchantment and take an extra turn after this one.
How it works : Second Chance
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
If multiple "extra turn" effects resolve in the same turn, take them in the reverse of the order that the effects resolved. In other words, the most recently created extra turn is taken first.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
On resolution of the trigger you have to sacrifice this card if you have 5 life or less. If you can't (because it is not on the battlefield, for example), then you still take an extra turn after this one.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #3· Wizards of the Coast
It is not optional.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #4· Wizards of the Coast
The ability will only trigger if you have 5 or less life at the beginning of upkeep. This is checked again at the start of resolution and nothing happens if you do not still have 5 or less life.
No other card is named in this ruling.
