Something came up in yesterdays tournament concerning a Force of Will that was flipped with Mind's Desire.  My opponent (Bill Copes) Flips Force off Desire and has a Bob in play.  I've got a Chain of Vapor in my hand.  If I play the Chain of Vapor at his EOT can he still play the exiled force?

Mind's Desire allows the exiled cards to be played 'until end of turn.'  This means the effect ends during the cleanup step, so the Force of Will can still be cast during the end step.

If the players receive priority again after the cleanup step, FoW should be unplayable at that point though. Creating that sort of a gamestate will generate a window where you can cast Chain w/out worrying about the Desire-flipped FoW. That said, I don't think very many cards in a typical Vintage deck let you set up such scenarios.

514.3. Normally, no player receives priority during the cleanup step, so no spells can be cast and no
abilities can be activated. However, this rule is subject to the following exception:

514.3a At this point, the game checks to see if any state-based actions would be performed and/or
any triggered abilities are waiting to be put onto the stack (including those that trigger “at the
beginning of the next cleanup step”). If so, those state-based actions are performed, then those
triggered abilities are put on the stack, then the active player gets priority.
Players may cast
spells and activate abilities. Once the stack is empty and all players pass in succession, another
cleanup step begins.

I suppose it's mostly the thought that this format is just one big Mistake; and not even a very sophisticated one at that.
Much like humanity itself.
