crystalline sliver and vitalize

Asked by zombie66613 4 years ago

if I have Crystalline Sliver on the battlefield with many of his friends that I have tapped for mana. can I use Vitalize to untap all my creatures? it doesn't say target, just says untap all creatures you control. I know prob a stupid question but I'm asking it anyway.

thanks for any help you can give

You can use Vitalize to untap your creatures. Shroud only prevents those creatures from being targeted and Vitalize does not target. Spells and abilities that target will almost always say "target" in the rules text (Aura spells always target; and some keywords like equip and provoke target, and will use the word target in their reminder text).

Also, it's not a stupid question at all - it's a fairly common point of confusion.

No stupid questions here. It’ll Untap your creatures since it doesn’t specifically say the Word Target

awesome you have no idea how happy you just made me thank you. lost a match well 1 cause of inexperience, and 2 because I didn't know if I could use Vitalize so didnt add it to my deck. on turn 5 I was able to almost dump my entire hive in one shot. because I had 2 Dormant Sliver I couldn't attack when needed to and still have enough slivers to do so, and had to pass turn.

Well the big bad Wolf, Well he huffed, and he puffed, all that he could. And low and behold the little piggy's house stood. "It's made out of concrete!" The little piggy shouted. The wolf just frowned, as he pouted. So they called nine-eleven, like any piggy would. They sent out Rambo, just as fast, as they could. "Yo, wolf-face, I'm your worst nightmare, your ass is mine!" Well the wolf fell dead as you can plainly see. and That will end the story, for you and me.

thank you very much for the help
