Age old question: Can you Fork a Timewalk?

[RigaMortus]

Sorry.

ROFLMAO!

I'm going to second LokiDr's ROFLMAO!

But honestly, IIRC, fork only affects a spell that has a single target, and I think Time Walk was released before targetting rules, so I don't think it works w/o eratta at least

(So strange... haven't talked about Magic rules lawyering in forever)

 

[LokiDR]

There should be a free action spell in D&D called fork, just because counterspelling sucks.

 

[WattsHumphrey]

Oh! or a deflection spell. Returning the target of the spell somewhere else.

Wasn't the quote something like...

"Up and down, over and through, back around, the joke's on you."

Oh, everything in Type I has been errataed by now. (And then errattaed once more!) I know you can Fork a Demonic Tutor, and by the same logic you can Fork a Time Walk. Apparently theres even a special rule for how to resolve multiple Time Walk turns by different players.

Hope this clears up the question. ;-)

Oracle texts:

Fork
Instant
RR
Put a copy of target instant or sorcery spell onto the stack, except that it copies Fork's color and you may choose new targets for the copy.
Relevant rulings: You maintain full control over the copy of the spell regardless of who cast the original. (I think this means that the caster of the Fork spell is considered the caster of the Forked spell, i.e. "you" in the spell text).

Time Walk
Sorcery
1U
Take an extra turn after this one.
Relevant rulings: If multiple "extra turn" effects resolve in the same turn, take them in the reverse of the order that the effects resolved.

So, first player 1 casts Time Walk. Then player 2 responds with a Fork, and to make things easy let's say nothing else happens. Then player 2's Fork resolves, and finally player 1's Fork resolves. Since extra turns are taken in the reverse order, player 1 will get his extra turn first and then player 2 will get his.

Only if the Fork and Time Walk are Beta, I mean, who plays with grummy Unlimited cards anyway?
