Trouble in Pairs Rules Text & Legality
If an opponent would begin an extra turn, that player skips that turn instead.

Trouble in Pairs is legal in Legacy and Commander, and not legal in Standard, Pioneer, Modern and Pauper.
Trouble in Pairs Rulings
- Feb 2, 2024 An "extra turn" is any turn created by a spell or ability. Notably, it doesn't include additional turns taken in tournaments after time expires for a round.
- Feb 2, 2024 Extra turns can still be created while Trouble in Pairs is on the battlefield. They're not skipped until they would begin, so if Trouble in Pairs leaves the battlefield before that happens, the extra turns will be unaffected.
- Feb 2, 2024 If an opponent attacks you with two or more creatures more than once in a turn (probably because they've generated extra combat phases), Trouble in Pairs's last ability will trigger each time that happens.
- Feb 2, 2024 Trouble in Pairs counts spells that were cast even if they didn't resolve. This means it still counts spells that were countered.
- Feb 2, 2024 Trouble in Pairs doesn't have to be on the battlefield to see the first card an opponent draws in a turn or the first spell they cast in a turn. As long as it's already on the battlefield when they draw their second card or cast their second spell in a turn, its last ability will trigger.
