    Enchant creature Enchanted creature doesn't untap during its controller's untap step. Waterbend 5 generic mana : Enchanted creature's owner shuffles it into their library. (While paying a waterbend cost, you can tap your artifacts and creatures to help. Each one pays for 1 generic mana .)

    You can tap any untapped creature or artifact you control to pay a waterbend cost, even one you haven't controlled continuously since the beginning of your most recent turn.

    If an artifact or creature you control has a mana ability with tap in the cost, activating that ability while casting a spell or activating an ability with waterbend will result in the artifact or creature being tapped before you pay the spell's costs. You won't be able to tap it again for waterbend. Similarly, if you sacrifice an artifact or creature to activate a mana ability to pay a cost with waterbend, that artifact or creature won't be on the battlefield when you pay the spell's costs, so you won't be able to tap it for waterbend.

    "Waterbend [cost]" means "Pay [cost]. For each generic mana in that cost, you may tap an untapped artifact or creature you control rather than pay that mana."
