What it does
Whenever this creature or another Pirate you control enters, tap up to one target creature. That creature doesn't untap during its controller's untap step for as long as you control this creature.
Rulings
3 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.
- 2020-11-10
The triggered ability can target any creature, including one that is already tapped. In that case, the creature stays tapped and won't untap during its controller's untap step.
- 2020-11-10
The ability stopping the creature from untapping will continue to apply to it even if the creature changes controllers.
- 2020-11-10
If another player gains control of Merchant Raiders, the creature will no longer be affected by the ability stopping it from untapping, even if you later regain control of Merchant Raiders.
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 Merchant Raiders. 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.
