Untap all permanents you control during each other player's untap step.

Why is this card good?
Seedborn Muse is one of the most powerful ramp/value engines green has, because untapping everything on every turn effectively quadruples your mana access in a four-player game. The asymmetry is enormous — you get to act like it's your turn during everyone else's.
The dream homes are:
- Untap/lands-matter decks — pair with mana sinks, X-spells, or land-based engines.
- Open-mana control like Derevi, Estrid, or any deck packing instant-speed interaction, counterspells, and flash threats. You become a wall players can't move through profitably.
- Big mana commanders (Omnath, Ezuri) that want to dump mana constantly.
It earns its Game Changer flag: it warps a game by giving you a turn's worth of mana four times a round.
When not to play it: aggressive, low-curve, or "tap out and swing" decks gain little — if you have nothing to do at instant speed, the untap is wasted. It's also a glaring removal magnet, so run protection or recursion.

All your permanents untap during each other player's untap step. You have no choice about what untaps.

Other effects can prevent a permanent from untapping during an untap step. You do need to look carefully, however, as many effects say that the permanent does not untap during its controller's untap step, and this card's ability occurs during other players' untap steps. If a card does say this, then Seedborn Muse can untap it. But some other abilities are not written this way and can still prevent a card from untapping.
