I want one. Now. Think of all the stuff you can do with this. Putrefax, Act of Agression, Battle Cry ability, Assault Strobe, Ichorclaw Myr, Immolating Souleater, Metallic Mastery. Go onto Gatherer and look up "end of turn".

I can see an errata wall on this a mile long. 

Does it really end the turn or will people say, it's still my turn just that part of my turn ended and they'll be trying to untap it and use it again. 

What would be really wrong would be an effect that allowed you to use it on someone else's turn.

It's this

Sundial of the Infinite 2

1 Tap: End the turn. Activate this ability only during your turn. (Whole bunch of reminder text, even using the word stack)

Need I state the following:

Since there are no rules for this yet we can only speculate how it would function or use that blue card that does the same thing for reference. Though it does seem pretty clear to end the turn not the phase
So to me based on the reference remarks it goes directly to the cleanup step. So most of the cards turbine mentioned won't benefit from it however cards the have the text at the beginning of end step will such as putrafax will as it will bypass the phase those trigger in
I don't see a lot of use in standard other then as a savior but would have a lot of use in other formats.

this looks like a great anti-counter, of a great card in generally good card if your opponent usually plays more on your turn

Sorry, I was reading something talking about the card and mistook abilities that are until "end of turn" versus the beginning of the end step.
