Old Man of the Sea Color= Blue Type= Creature - Djinn Cost= 1UU AN(U2) Text (AN+errata): 2/3. ; You may choose not to untap ~this~ during your untap step. ; {Tap}: Gain control of target creature with power less than or equal to ~this~'s power for as long as ~this~ remains tapped and that creature's power remains less than or equal to ~this~'s power. [Oracle 2009/07/08] If used during combat, the creature is removed from the combat immediately. [bethmo 1994/06/01] Control of the creature is lost if the Old Man leaves play for any reason. This is because it is no longer tapped. [bethmo 1994/05/09] You do not lose control of a creature controlled by the Old Man even if you lose control of the Old Man itself. Interesting Note: if player A taps an Old Man to control B's Old Man, and during the same instant B taps to control A's Old Man, then at the resolution of the instant, the two Old Men switch sides. Now whoever untaps first will be getting both Old Men. [bethmo 1994/06/01] You do not lose control if the creature becomes an invalid target at any time after the Old Man steals it. This includes if the card stops being a creature. The check for stealing the creature is made on announcement and on resolution as with any targeted effect plus it checks constantly for the cases listed on the card: power becoming greater than Old Man's and Old Man leaving play. [WotC Rules Team 1995/02/09] Extended tournaments (see Rule 913) have always banned this card. Note - This card was creature type "Marid" until Oracle 2007/10/01, when it became "Djinn".
