There's two uses of Shatter Eons. One requires the order of operations to allow for the change of extra turns to skipped turns to be interrupted by card destruction, which results in being able to perform complicated stack manipulation to get extra turns out of it for relatively cheap, and the second is a super-intensive combo to remove all your turns to avoid negative effects on your turns involving a card that lets you use other people's untap step, Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir and a not-on-your-turn draw engine.

Speaking of dodging unwanted turn parts, have a fixed crosspost. I forgot to check the rules before I made it, but this version works as intended.

Enchantment
All players skip their Upkeep step and Ending Phase and their second Main Phase each turn.
All players take a second Draw step and a second Combat Phase each turn.

The Ending Phase is different from the End Step. It includes the End Step, but it also includes the step where you discard cards past the hand limit, remove damage from creatures, "end of turn" effects don't stop and generally all the stuff that should happen at the end of turn... Doesn't. At all. Damage carries over through turns, cards don't get discarded when over the hand size limit and effects that end with the turn don't. The game essentially becomes one massive run-on turn for a lot of rules.
The second main phase is what lets you use non-instant-speed cards after the combat phase. So removing it means that combat is followed immediately by the now-missing Ending Phase. So the last Combat Phase is immediately followed by the next player's Untap Step.
An extra Draw Step means you draw another card, and all abilities that trigger during the Draw Step go off twice. An extra combat phase is exactly what it says, you go through the combat phase a second time. Without untapping, but anything that happens during the combat phase happens again.
Basically, the foundation of the game is completely warped by this card because highly important parts of the turns are cut out for everyone.
Well, first issue I have with it is that the name isn't fitting. If it was flawless, they wouldn't die at the end of turn. Balance wise, it's simultaneously overpriced and underpriced. Seven mana across three colors for one revived creature that gets +1/+1 until end of turn, followed by sacrificing a creature at the start of the next upkeep, is too high a price. However, the total P/T advantage is a nasty exponent. If you are playing a hard ramp deck with self mill, then you can be paying a meager 12 mana for six revived creatures of any CMC, each with +6/+6 and Haste until end of turn. This is a minimum of 36/42 P/T with Haste hitting the board.
Card will come in a minute because I remembered I was tablet posting after getting the comment done, and the tablet reloads tabs when I tab out.

Say hello to a wonky fetch, made to synergize with Jandor's Ring. Note that quite a few of the Gravemorph cards I've made(it's a keyword I made for the sake of wonkyness) are Skaabs, and thus mill you on entering the battlefield, so this just flat out fetches a card most of the time. I should make more Skaabs for Gravemorph... They're supposed to be the bulk of the setup for the self-mill cost.

Missing "Slivers {you control} get "{ability"", which is the standard for Slivers and important to making that card really useful for a draw engine, but I see the point of it and how it synergizes.

The synergy is that Jandor's Ring will let you interrupt your Draw phase by sacrificing this to grab a Zombie or Skeleton in your deck. The internal synergies this is primarily built for is two options: One is that you Gravemorph into a Skaab, milling the fetched card into your graveyard where it can be Gravemorphed, or retrieving a Zombie or Skeleton in your graveyard by giving it Gravemorph before the death resolves.
Next: Hose Basal Sliver. I dislike sacrifice Slivers. There just aren't enough ways to pump tokens to feed it. The token pumps are powerful, but few.

Okay, Orderly Assult is wildly underpriced. Fury of the Horde applies the effect once and costs seven mana. While also being a Rare. Hellkite Charger is the closest fit, but only makes extra combat phases, so there's no chance to play cards between combats. And costs 7 mana each time. And is a 6-mana 5/5 flier with Haste, and is also Rare.
Simply put, it's too cheap for the effect, compared to other, similar, cards.

Yes, it's just merging Fungus Sliver and Plague Sliver and using the New Sliver thing as a means of making it a harsh cost. The keyword is just part of the Mechanics Game thread being my main inspiration, and is how it manages to have the Plague Sliver role with the "you control" limiter.

A pity that Slaughter has been printed.... anyway, this is 7 mana 9 life... too expensive?
Well, it creates three Goat tokens for 2 mana, which is a good value due to sacrifice costs in general. Three bodies for two mana is good in Modern White, due to availability of "creatures you control" buffs making sheer numbers work out well. Lorwyn block offers... four cards to give +1/+1 to each White creature? Pretty sure that there's one "{color} and {color} creatures you control get +1/+1" for each color pair in the block. Well, it's actually Shadowmore and Eventide that have those, but it's in Modern and doesn't have to compete with Legacy or Vintage.
Slaughterhouse is also good because it's any number of creatures you control at three for each. In a heavy spam deck, which White/Black often becomes to fuel the sacrifice engines, it gets you a large pile of health to work with.
