Official rulings
Five official rulings apply to Fear of Sleep Paralysis, newest first.
- While you control Fear of Sleep Paralysis, if a permanent an opponent controls with a stun counter would untap, it doesn't untap and the stun counter isn't removed.
- If a permanent with an eerie ability enters at the same time as one or more enchantments, its ability will trigger for each of those enchantments.
- An ability that triggers "whenever you fully unlock a Room" triggers when a door becomes unlocked and the other door of that Room is already unlocked, or when both doors of that Room become unlocked simultaneously.
- While you control Fear of Sleep Paralysis, opponents can't use tapped permanents with stun counters on them to pay costs that include untapping a permanent. This includes costs that use the {Q} (untap) symbol.
- If an ability tries to move a stun counter from a permanent an opponent controls to another permanent while you control Fear of Sleep Paralysis, that counter won't move. No stun counters will be removed from or put onto anything.
