Are there time limits per turn in MTG tournaments?
Yup, MTG tournaments have a chess clock system, but it's more about the match than each turn. Basically, you and your opponent have a shared total time for the match, usually around 50 minutes for Swiss rounds. This keeps the games moving and prevents someone from taking forever on a single turn. But, there's no set 'seconds per turn' - it's all about managing your match time wisely.

Actually, it varies by event, but there's no strict 'time-per-turn' rule. Some local events might be more relaxed about timing, while major tournaments keep things tight to stay on schedule. Just be mindful and play at a reasonable pace!
Nope, there's no timer ticking down each second of your turn like in speed chess. What you have are judges walking around to make sure no one's stalling on purpose. If a game goes too long, there are ways to determine the winner based on the current game state.
