They are different from state-based actions in this way as they only occur at specific points in each turn, as opposed to whenever needed. Some of them involve choices made by players; others do not. They are also not optional. Examples of turn-based actions are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Untapping at the beginning of each turn. This can be partially modified by effects that keep a permanent from untapping, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/rulestips\/wp-content\/plugins\/lems-mtg-helper\/lems-mtg-helper-cardfinder.php?find=Claustrophobia&width=223&height=310\" class=\"jTip\" name=\"\">Claustrophobia<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/rulestips\/wp-content\/plugins\/lems-mtg-helper\/lems-mtg-helper-cardfinder.php?find=Rust+Tick&width=223&height=310\" class=\"jTip\" name=\"\">Rust Tick<\/a>. However, the action is applied even if it is being modified by other effects.<\/li>\n<li>Drawing a card at the beginning of your draw step. This is the first thing that happens in that step and it can&#8217;t be responded to. Only after the card is drawn (or the draw is replaced by something like Dredge) do players get priority.<\/li>\n<li>Discarding excess cards in the cleanup step of your turn if you have more cards than your current maximum hand size.<\/li>\n<li>Mana emptying from your mana pool at the end of every step and phase.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A large number of other turn-based actions occur in the combat step: Declaring attacking creatures, declaring blocking creatures, choosing the damage assignment order if a creature in combat is blocking or blocked by more than one creature, assigning combat damage and applying combat damage are all examples of actions during the combat phase that don&#8217;t use the stack.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, there is one variant turn-based action. In an Archenemy game, the next scheme being put in motion is a turn-based action that occurs at the beginning of the precombat main phase of the Archenemy&#8217;s turn.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday we looked at the six special actions that do not use the stack.
