Eater of Days skips the next two turns regardless of them being extra turns, so your combo should work.

Thanks. BTW, what do you think of that combo? Kind of not fair for EDH.

EDH for me is about long games where the balance constantly shifts, I don't like combo that ends the game in one turn. it feels weak. the way we play EDH is all about everyone can play. we run almost no countermagic, no land destruct (we do destruct maze of ith and problem land but we don't disrupt land in general) and we don't play discard. this makes the format fun for our group but it's personal. We play tournament level legacy as well and there everything goes so our EDH games are a nice change from that.

if I were to go to an EDH competition of some kind I would build a very different deck. I would probably play combo and tons of countermagic. it all depends.

besides if you play multiplayer it doesn't matter that you play combo, next game people will probably all team up on you anyway so the problem corrects itself.

If I were you I'd totally run Sundial of the Infinity with those. Eater of Days for no downside?

RR for an extra turn and you DON'T lose the game at the end...pretty awesome.

Sundial of the Infinite does not prevent you from skipping your next two turns via Eater of Days. But Torpor Orb and Stifle do. There's actually a deck built around those and Phyrexian Dreadnought, and to a lesser extent cards like Eater of Days too.

The point is that I want Eater of Days to trigger its ability so that I am immune to my copy of Final Fortune. I skip my next turns and everyone else loses in the meantime.

playing a single copy of sundail and then pack spells that are dead without it is a pretty bad tactic. this is still EDH, every card should be a bomb.

Oh, I was under the impression that it was still a triggered effect that made you skip those turns (Triggered by EoD entering the battlefield or "coming into play")

I suppose that's true.
