Rulings

1. 2004-10-04 · wotc — If Howling Mine leaves the battlefield before it resolves, then the last known tap or untap state of the card is used for resolution.
2. 2004-10-04 · wotc — The additional draw is separate from any other draw during your draw step. It happens when the triggered ability resolves.
3. 2004-10-04 · wotc — It does not trigger at all if this is tapped at the start of the draw step, and it checks this again on resolution.
4. 2013-04-15 · wotc — The triggered ability is put onto the stack after you have already drawn your card for the turn.
