From the High Seas release notes · June 6 2025
  • Clap ‘Em in Irons’ first ability triggers when it resolves and enters into the arena. When it triggers, you must declare a target Pirate hero or Pirate ally. You will tap that target Pirate hero or ally when this triggered effect resolves. Additionally, the Pirate hero or Pirate ally can’t untap while Clap ‘Em in Irons is in the arena.
  • When declaring a target hero for Clap ‘Em in Irons first ability’s triggered effect, you may declare an already tapped Pirate hero or ally. If that target is still tapped when the triggered effect resolves, the layer will continue to resolve since the target is still valid but the tap effect will fail. The subsequent continuous effect will still apply to that tapped target and it will not be able to untap while Clap ‘Em in Irons is still in the arena.
  • Clap ‘Em in Irons second ability triggers at the start of your turn. Neither player receives priority during the start phase of a turn.
