Soldevi Golem and untapping
Asked by UniqueUserID 9 years ago
Just some quick questions regarding this guy.
1) Does Soldevi Golem target have to be a tapped creature? Or rather must a creature be untapped for himself to untap?
2) Is there a limit to how many creatures I can untap?
3) Soldevi Golem is untapped as upkeep starts. Could I use a aura that let's him tap (eg- Hermetic Study) himself and can I use his effect multiple times to tap/untap? Or is it strictly a one time deal per upkeep?

At the beginning of your upkeep, you may untap target tapped creature an opponent controls. If you do, untap Soldevi Golem.
"target tapped creature" Yes, the target has to be a tapped creature.
Yes, one creature (two if you count the golem). the ability triggers and targets a single creature.
It triggers once on each of your upkeeps, that's all. You could respond by tapping him, but you won't get to untap him more than once (that turn) with his ability.

@Pepsi
It does say target tapped creature, and it is a triggered ability so it only triggers when the conditions are met (which is "At the beginning of your upkeep" which only happens once on each of your turns unless you gain more upkeeps)

its an activated ability that only works during his upkeep and activates at the end of the same upkeep phase. he asked if he can use it multiple times during his upkeep. he can use it even when the golem is untapped so he can untap more than one of his oponents creatures but his golem wont untap till end of the upkeep phase (and only once ofc).

@Pepsi, go look at gatherer. It has been updated to a triggered ability, it is no longer an activated ability.

Yeah, sadly the ice hasn't kept the cards in the original condition

it doesnt say "target tapped creature" and it doesnt say "once per turn". ice age power.
gatherer only adds that its ability can be used even if it is untapped itself.
