	If you activate Sundial of the Infinite during your upkeep, which step are you now on? The begining of your end step, or the end of your end step? If it is the begining, would effects that trigger at the begining of the end still activate?

	Quoting "Gatherer": Ending the turn this way means the following things happen in order: 1) All spells and abilities on the stack are exiled. This includes spells and abilities that can't be countered. 2) All attacking and blocking creatures are removed from combat. 3) State-based actions are checked. No player gets priority, and no triggered abilities are put onto the stack. 4) The current phase and/or step ends. The game skips straight to the cleanup step. The cleanup step happens in its entirety. If Sundial of the Infinite's ability is activated before the end step, any "at the beginning of the end step"-triggered abilities won't get the chance to trigger that turn because the end step is skipped. Those abilities will trigger at the beginning of the end step of the next turn. The same is true of abilities that trigger at the beginning of other phases or steps (except upkeep). - HZ DCI MTG Rules Advisor

	Quoting Sacred Vision:If you activate Sundial of the Infinite during your upkeep, which step are you now on? The begining of your end step, or the end of your end step? Neither of those are actually steps. The end phase consists of the end step followed by the cleanup step. You can't skip to the "end" of a step. When something triggers at the beginning of a step, that means it triggers when the game enters that step. "The beginning of a step" is not a separate step. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Magic Rules Advisor AIM: clanlsg 2010 eMmies: Nicest Member 2009 eMmies: Most Likely to be Mod 2008 eMmies: Nicest Member, Best Sig, Funniest Member, Most Likely to be Mod <(-'.'-)> Q(-'.'-Q) <(-'.'-<) (>-'.'-)> O==(-.-Q) t(-'.'-t)
