Grand Marshal Macie

Legendary Creature — Human Performer

You may choose not to untap Grand Marshal Macie during your untap step. If you do, put a pause counter on it, then you lose 1 life for each pause counter on it.

Whenever Macie becomes untapped, remove all pause counters from it.

{2}, {T}: Choose an "until end of turn" or "this turn" effect. As long as Macie remains tapped, that effect doesn't end.

Rhadamanthus on Grand Marshal Macie and how …

Some more comments just to make sure something is clear: The "Acorn" stamp on Macie and some other cards from Unfinity is equivalent to the silver border used on cards from previous Un-sets. It indicates the card isn't meant to be used in "normal" Magic and everyone at the table has to be okay with them before starting a game. If, for example, you're building a Grand Marshal Macie commander deck, you'll need to talk with your opponents before the game starts to see whether they agree with allowing it. Acorn-stamp cards also aren't legal for tournament play unless the organizer has specifically allowed them for the event (in which case it would be considered a "Casual" format event).

The kinds of effects Grand Marshal Macie interacts with are ones with a duration of "this turn" or "until end of turn". Effects like Brace for Impact, Silence and Abeyance will work, but Aetherflux Reservoir's first ability is a triggered ability that looks back at the turn for information, not an effect that lasts through the turn, so it can't be paused this way. Your notional "...for each creature that died this turn" effect would probably also be part of a kind of effect that Macie wouldn't interact with.

For your follow-up question with the Silence example: it's okay if Macie wasn't on the battlefield at the time the effect was created. If the effect's duration hasn't expired yet then it still exists, so she can see it and her ability can be used to pause it.

Also can i cast lets say Silence first and then later play my commander Grand Marshal Macie and lock the effect (ofcause she has haste) I mean "the until the end of turn" effect is present whether shes on the board or not is it not?

Grand Marshal Macie locks a "end of turn" or something like that Now what about lets say Brace for Impact would this act like an enchanment now (just to save me lots of typing)

What about abilitys .. cant think of a card "for each creature that died this turn" would the ability just keep triggering until i untap Marcie?

Or lets say Aetherflux Reservoir lets say i use it on it and now the counter of "one life for each card" never drops lower?

How about instands in general? Abeyance
