  • WotCApr 15, 2013

    The triggered ability is put onto the stack after you have already drawn your card for the turn.

  • WotCOct 4, 2004

    If Howling Mine leaves the battlefield before it resolves, then the last known tap or untap state of the card is used for resolution.

  • WotCOct 4, 2004

    It does not trigger at all if this is tapped at the start of the draw step, and it checks this again on resolution.

  • WotCOct 4, 2004

    The additional draw is separate from any other draw during your draw step. It happens when the triggered ability resolves.
