Ugin's Nexus 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.
01
Official card text
If a player would begin an extra turn, that player skips that turn instead. If Ugin's Nexus would be put into a graveyard from the battlefield, instead exile it and take an extra turn after this one.
How it works : Ugin's Nexus
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #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· Wizards of the Coast
Extra turns can still be created while Ugin's Nexus is on the battlefield. They're not skipped until they would begin, so if Ugin's Nexus leaves the battlefield before that happens, the extra turns will be unaffected.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #3· Wizards of the Coast
Notably, if you control more than one Ugin's Nexus, all but one will be exiled and an extra turn created for each. If the Ugin's Nexus that remains on the battlefield isn't on the battlefield when each of those extra turns would begin, you can take those turns.
No other card is named in this ruling.
