Involuntary Cooldown Rulings

5 most recent
  • Oct 14, 2022 Abilities that trigger when a permanent "becomes untapped" won't trigger if a stun counter is removed instead.
  • Oct 14, 2022 If a permanent has more than one stun counter on it, only one will be removed each time it would become untapped.
  • Oct 14, 2022 If a tapped permanent with a stun counter on it would become untapped, a stun counter will be removed from it instead. This is a replacement effect.
  • Oct 14, 2022 If untapping a permanent is part of a cost (such as that of Halo Fountain's first ability), you may pay that cost by "untapping" a tapped permanent with a stun counter on it. The stun counter will be removed and the creature will remain tapped. However, the cost will still be paid.
  • Oct 14, 2022 On the other hand, if untapping multiple permanents is part of a cost (such as that of Halo Fountain's last two abilities), you can't "untap" the same permanent more than once to pay that cost.
