End of turn casting in MTG means you're playing spells during the last phase of your opponent's turn, right before it becomes your turn. This is super strategic because it lets you hold back mana and keep your options open during your opponent's turn. You can surprise them with instant spells or abilities, and since it's the end of their turn, they won't have much time to respond before you start your turn. Just remember, this trick mainly works with instants and cards that have abilities you can use at instant speed.

It's a trap! Just kidding, but seriously, casting at the end of your opponent's turn is a common tactic among players who love to live on the edge. It's all about timing and making sure you're not wasting your instants or flash abilities too early. Wait for the end step, then bam, hit them with a surprise. But remember, not every card can be played at this time, so read your cards carefully.

End of turn casting? Overrated. Sure, you can catch your opponent off guard, but if you're not careful, you might miss the chance to play something even better on your turn. Always think twice before you pass up your mana for a sneaky end-of-turn play.

Basically, if you're casting at the end of turn in MTG, you're doing it during the end step of your opponent's turn. It's a neat way to play instants or activate abilities without giving your opponent a chance to react on their turn. Perfect for when you want to drop a creature with flash or an instant spell right before your turn starts!
