What it does

Flying

Landfall — Whenever a land you control enters, tap target creature an opponent controls. If that land is an Island, that creature doesn't untap during its controller's next untap step.

Rulings

5 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2015-08-25

    The ability tracks the creature, but not its controller. If the creature changes controllers before its first controller's next untap step has come around, then it won't untap during its new controller's next untap step.

  • 2015-08-25

    Guardian of Tazeem's landfall ability can target a creature that's already tapped. If the land that caused it to trigger was an Island, that creature won't untap during its controller's next untap step.

  • 2024-11-08

    A landfall ability triggers whenever a land you control enters for any reason. It triggers whenever you play a land, as well as whenever a spell or ability puts a land onto the battlefield under your control.

  • 2024-11-08

    A landfall ability doesn't trigger if a permanent already on the battlefield becomes a land.

  • 2024-11-08

    Whenever a land you control enters, each landfall ability of the permanents you control will trigger. You can put them   on the stack in any order. The last ability you put on the stack will be the first one to resolve (As a result, you can have those abilities resolve in the order of your choosing.).

Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.

Every version of Guardian of Tazeem

2 printings, newest first. Prices are the market figures Scryfall publishes, refreshed nightly — a printing with no figure shows a dash rather than a zero, because Scryfall genuinely publishes none for some of them.

Prices from Scryfall, which tracks the TCGplayer and Cardmarket markets. They move daily and are a guide rather than a quote. Search TCGplayer for Guardian of Tazeem — a name search across every version, for the printings TCGplayer publishes no direct link to.

Aggregated from Commander games tracked in TurnZero HQ. Every figure counts decks and games only — no individual deck list, player or playgroup is identified. Win rates are withheld below 5 completed games, where the sample is too small to mean anything.
