Hi! I've been building a kitchen table deck featuring Reaper from the abyss and quicksilver amulet
I'm uncertain of when I need to Flash in reaper to get the trigger, do I need to do it in opponents second main phase or can I do it as they pass to end step?
All "At the beginning of the/your/etc. end step" triggers go off at the very moment the end step begins. If the trigger condition is not met at that time, the trigger won't go off. Likewise, if the source of the triggered ability is not in the right zone for the trigger to exist, it won't go off. This means, that the Reaper has to be on the battlefield when the end step begins. Since you only get priority after all "at the beginning of the/your/etc. end step" have been put on the stack, you can't wait until the end step. So you have to get the Reaper onto the field in the last phase before the end step, usually the second main, at the latest.
