Official rulings
Three official rulings apply to Dovin Baan, newest first.
- An opponent affected by Dovin Baan's emblem chooses which two of their permanents to untap, not you.
- Dovin Baan's first ability can target any creature, not just one with an activated ability. It can also be activated targeting no creature at all.
- Activated abilities contain a colon. They're generally written “[Cost]: [Effect].” Some keywords are activated abilities and will have colons in their reminder text.
