What it does
Tap target creature and put three stun counters on it. (If a permanent with a stun counter would become untapped, remove one from it instead.)
Scry 1. (Look at the top card of your library. You may put that card on the bottom.)
Rulings
6 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.
- 2022-09-09
Stun counters replace untapping for any reason, including players untapping tapped permanents during their untap steps.
- 2022-09-09
If a tapped permanent with a stun counter on it would become untapped, a stun counter will be removed from it instead. This is a replacement effect.
- 2022-09-09
You may target a creature that is already tapped with Impede Momentum. If the target creature is tapped as it resolves, you will still put three stun counters on it.
- 2022-09-09
If a permanent has more than one stun counter on it, only one will be removed each time it would become untapped.
- 2022-09-09
If untapping a permanent is part of a cost (such as that of Halo Fountain’s first ability), you may pay that cost by “untapping” a tapped permanent with a stun counter on it. The stun counter will be removed and the creature will remain tapped. However, the cost will still be paid.
- 2022-09-09
Abilities that trigger when a permanent “becomes untapped” won’t trigger if a stun counter is removed instead.
Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.

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.
