Rulings
4 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.
- 2004-10-04
If Howling Mine leaves the battlefield before it resolves, then the last known tap or untap state of the card is used for resolution.
- 2004-10-04
The additional draw is separate from any other draw during your draw step. It happens when the triggered ability resolves.
- 2004-10-04
It does not trigger at all if this is tapped at the start of the draw step, and it checks this again on resolution.
- 2013-04-15
The triggered ability is put onto the stack after you have already drawn your card for the turn.
Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.

Prices from Scryfall, which tracks the TCGplayer and Cardmarket markets. They move daily and are a guide rather than a quote. Search TCGplayer for Howling Mine. It runs a name search across every version, which covers 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.
