Narcolepsy 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
Enchant creature At the beginning of each upkeep, if enchanted creature is untapped, tap it.
How it works : Narcolepsy
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
Narcolepsy’s triggered ability has an “intervening ‘if’ clause.” That means (1) the ability triggers only if the enchanted creature is untapped as any player’s upkeep begins, and (2) the ability does nothing if the enchanted creature is already tapped by the time it resolves.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
Narcolepsy doesn’t keep the enchanted creature continually tapped. The creature untaps during its controller’s untap step as normal, then is tapped when Narcolepsy’s ability resolves during that upkeep. The creature may be tapped in response (for example, if it has an activated ability with
in its cost).
No other card is named in this ruling.
