Official rulings
Two official rulings apply to Clinging Mists, newest first.
- In most cases, attacking creatures will already be tapped. They still won’t untap during their controller’s next untap step.
- Clinging Mists doesn’t track the controller of the attacking creatures. If one of them changes controller before its previous controller’s next untap step, it won’t untap during its new controller’s next untap step.
