Multiple Prophet of Kruphix + untaps

Asked by Brastus 9 years ago

Prophet of Kruphix has the untap during your opponent's untap steps ability. If you have more than one, does its ability stack in a way that will allow you to harness multiple untaps? or do they all resolve at once, effectively only giving a single untap of your lands etc?

And does Murkfiend Liege have the same interaction, and also resolve all at once? What about if you have one of each?

For the record (in case anyone comes along in the future wondering; apparently these Q&A results show up fairly frequently in searches):

Both Prophet of Kruphix and Murkfiend Liege have static abilities which untap some of your permanents during your opponents' untap steps. If you have multiple copies of them, they are redundant; you can't tap some of your permanents in response to one of the abilities because, A) static abilities don't use the stack, so they can't be responded to, and B) Abilities can never be activated during the untap step.

Officially, from the Gatherer rulings for Prophet of Kruphix :

9/15/2013: Controlling more than one Prophet of Kruphix doesnt allow you to untap any creature or land more than once during a single untap step.
