    All permanents untap during a player’s untap step at once. If Winter Orb is tapped as your untap step begins, your lands will all untap.

  • WotCJun 8, 2016

    You can’t tap Winter Orb just because you want to. Another ability, such as that of Glare of Subdual, must instruct or allow you to do so.
