Mass Mutiny is one of those cards players keep asking about. Here is, in plain words, what its official text says, the rulings published by Wizards of the Coast, and the combos players actually run.
Official card text
For each opponent, gain control of up to one target creature that player controls until end of turn. Untap those creatures. They gain haste until end of turn.
Complete guide
Mass Mutiny is a powerful red sorcery that can turn the tide of a multiplayer game in an instant. By seizing your rivals' strongest assets, you don't just clear their defenses; you build your own army for a devastating alpha strike.
What it Does
Mass Mutiny allows you to choose up to one creature controlled by each opponent. You gain control of those specific creatures until the end of the current turn, untap them, and give them haste so they can attack or activate abilities immediately.
Resolving the Chaos
When you cast the spell, you must choose your targets for each opponent. If an opponent has no creatures, or if you simply don't want to take one of their creatures, you may choose zero targets for that specific player. Upon resolution, you gain control of all targets simultaneously. Even if a target is already untapped, it still becomes your creature and gains haste. At the end of the turn, control of these creatures reverts to their owners or whoever previously controlled them.
Common Pitfalls
A common mistake is assuming you gain control of attached permanents. While you control the creature, you do not control the Auras or Equipment attached to it. Your opponent still controls their Equipment and can even move it to their own creatures during their own turn if they have the opportunity. Additionally, remember that this spell does not target the players themselves, only the creatures they control.
Strategic Timing
Since this is a sorcery, you should typically cast it during your first main phase. This ensures you have the borrowed creatures ready to attack during your combat phase. It is most effective when your opponents have established large boards, turning their own momentum against them.
Interaction examples
Mana GeyserIn a multiplayer game, you can cast Mana Geyser to generate a massive amount of red mana based on your opponents' tapped lands. Use that mana to cast Mass Mutiny, ensuring you have enough resources left over to cast other spells or activate the abilities of the creatures you just stole.
Chandra's IgnitionAfter using Mass Mutiny to gain control of an opponent's largest creature, you can cast Chandra's Ignition targeting that borrowed creature. The creature will deal damage equal to its power to all other creatures and all opponents. This allows you to wipe the board using your opponent's resource before the creature is returned to them at the end of the turn.

- #4· Wizards of the Coast
Gaining control of a creature doesn't cause you to gain control of any Auras or Equipment attached to it. However, if you gain control of a creature enchanted by an Aura with umbra armor and that creature would be destroyed that turn, instead the Aura will be destroyed and the creature will survive.
