Unattaped state as active condition and "tap" as main effect

[Konrad Klar]

Yes, but I don't like nested solutions.

Straight errata for particular card is the only cure then.

Not to derail further but:

Tap the sage and the site to search through your play deck and choose an item that you must reveal to your opponent.

Tapping the sage/site are clearly active conditions of declaring the search the deck action. That means they have to tap before resolution, but Far-sight needs an untapped sage/site at resolution for card play.

Why does Far-sight need an untapped sage at resolution? I believe it only needs the sage to be tapped at resolution.

Or do you mean that under the OP proposal the sage would need to be untapped at resolution? Then I agree.

Let's fix it. Perhaps:

If an action that you actively declare taps an entity (of yours) as a main effect, that action has the active condition that the entity is untapped unless it specifies otherwise.

Resources and "agent-resource" hazards need the active condition to prevent double-dipping. I don't think (ideologically) that tapping between declaration and resolution should cancel other adversarial effects; I'm mostly thinking of a hypothetical hazard that taps an opposing resource AND does something else. But as far as I know, no such hazards exist. So it seems reasonably safe to drop the parenthetical at this point.

Far-sight needs fixing regardless.
