Last Turn Weird Rulings - Part 4 - Resolving the effects of Last Turn as much as possible
5,709Last Turn is an alternative win condition which sends all of the cards in the field to the graveyard, summons a monster from your opponents deck, and forces it to battle monster of your choice. Where after the special battle phase, you go to the end phase and then do a win condition check, where the player who controls the lone monster on the field wins the game, with all other cases being a tie. However, funnily enough, you don't need to do the battle phase for the win condition check to apply. But you do need to be able to enter the battle phase to use the card. For example, if you activate last turn during the standby phase, and you for some reason use Thunder Of Ruler, which skips the battle phase, you simply resolve as much of the effect as possible, skipping the battle phase and going straight to the end phase to check who wins the game. However, if your opponent uses something like Frozen Soul on you before you use last turn, which makes its you can't enter the battle phase, then you can't use last turn, even though there is ruling stating you can try to resolve as much of the effect as possible. And it's this little distinction in the rulings that allows the Jowgen the Spiritualist trick to work. Part of the effect of last turn that special summons a monster from your opponents deck, which Jowgen prevents because it stops both players from special summoning monsters. Although you can still use Last Turn while Jowgen is and and just apply as much of the effect as possible, and you'll win during the end phase for having the only monster on the field.
