How it works : Yosei, the Morning Star
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
If any of the targets of Yosei's ability are illegal, they won't be tapped.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
If all of the permanents targeted by Yosei's ability become illegal targets, nothing becomes tapped, but the target player still skips their untap step.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #3· Wizards of the Coast
If the player becomes an illegal target, the target permanents are tapped, but the player doesn't skip their untap step.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #4· Wizards of the Coast
If a permanent won't untap during its controller's next untap step, that effect waits to apply until its controller has an untap step that isn't skipped.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #5· Wizards of the Coast
If more than one effect instructs a player to skip their next untap step, such as if Yosei dies more than once in a turn, that player skips that many untap steps. This is different from effects that state that something doesn't untap during an untap step.
No other card is named in this ruling.
