Merchant Raiders 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.

01

Official card text

Whenever this creature or another Pirate you control enters, tap up to one target creature. That creature doesn't untap during its controller's untap step for as long as you control this creature.

How it works : Merchant Raiders

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    The triggered ability can target any creature, including one that is already tapped. In that case, the creature stays tapped and won't untap during its controller's untap step.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    If another player gains control of Merchant Raiders, the creature will no longer be affected by the ability stopping it from untapping, even if you later regain control of Merchant Raiders.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    The ability stopping the creature from untapping will continue to apply to it even if the creature changes controllers.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
