What it does
Whenever you cast your first spell during each opponent's turn, you may tap or untap target nonland permanent.
Rulings
4 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.
- 2020-01-24
If you have more than one opponent, this ability can trigger once during each of those opponents' turns.
- 2020-01-24
In a Two-Headed Giant game, this ability triggers no more than once during each opposing team's turn.
- 2020-01-24
This ability triggers only on your very first spell during an opponent's turn, not the first spell after the card is on the battlefield. If you cast a spell before it's on the battlefield (including if you cast this card somehow during an opponent's turn), the ability won't trigger.
- 2020-01-24
An ability that triggers when you cast a spell resolves before the spell that caused it to trigger. It resolves even if that spell is countered.
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.
