Winter Orb Rules Text & Legality

Winter Orb

As long as this artifact is untapped, players can't untap more than one land during their untap steps.

Amazing how you can make such a dense little ball out of thirty-plus years of other people's frustration.

Winter Orb is legal in Legacy and Commander, and not legal in Standard, Pioneer, Modern and Pauper.
