How do Court Street Denizen and Akroan Horse interact?
Asked by waldnercharles 11 years ago
Akroan Horse gives me a 1/1 soldier at the beginning of my opponents upkeep. Does that mean it is before they untap their creatures? I'm wondering if I can keep a creature permanently tapped if I have Court Street Denizen .

The untap step is always the first step of a turn. Upkeep follows untap. Therefore, Akroan Horse 's ability triggers after your opponent untaps all of his or her permanents.
If you control Court Street Denizen , you will be able to tap one of your opponent's creatures just after he or she untaps it. Note that the creature still untaps, though, so your opponent can use tap abilities in response to Court Street Denizen 's ability.

The steps go Untap, Upkeep, Draw. So yes, they will untap their creatures, give you a white 1/1, and then you can tap a creature of your choice, essentially permanently tapping something they have.
