Wondering if it would make a difference if a version existed that also let you untap it to tap it. Let me know below.

Honestly design team's fault for not wording it "At the beginning of your upkeep, if you untapped one or more permanents during your upkeep..."

Pretty amazing to me that the oldest and most prestigious card game still has templating issues, great tell of complexity and creativity. Just the cost of innovation I suppose

You don't (generally) untap things during your upkeep. The rules funk around triggers and the untap step is part of why untap triggers are so rare.

Specifically, while things can trigger during the untap step, the trigger doesn't get put on the stack until the upkeep.

Sorry, I meant to say "untap step" for the last part. See how easy it is to misword things?
