  • 2021-09-24 Before a player untaps their permanents during the untap step, the game checks to see if the day/night designation should change.
  • 2021-09-24 Day and night are designations that the game itself can have. The game starts as neither. Once the game becomes day (or less commonly, night), the game will be exactly one of them—day or night—going back and forth for the rest of the game.
