Can I target an untapped creature with cards cards that say "untap target creature"?

Asked by CamraMaan 3 years ago

This regards Dismiss into Dream and Willbreaker 's creature triggers, since it's in my Merieke Ri Berit deck with lots of cards that untap creatures, and I'm hoping I can target my opponent's untapped creatures with cards/creatures that specifically say only "untap" target creature/permanent. Since the cards don't say "untap target tapped creature" I'm assuming I can target them... yes...?

Yes, that's right. If the spell/ability just says "target creature" and doesn't specify "target tapped creature" then it can target an untapped creature.
