- The untap symbol is the analog of the tap symbol. Represented as {Q} in rules documents, it looks like a white J-shaped arrow (with the arrowhead pointing up) on a black circle .
- The untap symbol appears only in the costs of activated abilities. It means "Untap this permanent."
- If the permanent is already untapped, you can't play its ability. That's because you can't pay the "Untap this permanent" cost.
- The "summoning sickness" rule applies to . If a creature with an ability hasn't been under your control since your most recent turn began, you can't play that ability. Ignore this rule if the creature also has haste.
- When you play an ability, you untap the creature with that ability as a cost. The untap can't be responded to. (The actual ability can be responded to, of course.)
