Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
You may target any creature with this ability. It doesn’t have to be tapped.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
If the targeted creature is untapped at the time its controller’s next untap step begins, this ability has no effect. It won’t apply at some later time when the targeted creature is tapped.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #3· Wizards of the Coast
Barl’s Cage doesn’t track the creature’s controller. If the affected creature changes controllers before its old controller’s next untap step, this ability will prevent it from being untapped during its new controller’s next untap step.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #4· Wizards of the Coast
Does not prevent a creature from untapping at other times. It just stops the “normal” untap during the untap step.
No other card is named in this ruling.
