{T}: Untap another target permanent you control.

{T}, Collect evidence 3: Tap target creature you don't control. (To collect evidence 3, exile cards with total mana value 3 or greater from your graveyard.)

Official rulings

  1. If you can't exile enough cards to meet or exceed the required mana value, you can't choose to collect evidence at all. (2024-02-02)
  2. Once you've announced that you're casting a spell, players can't take actions until you've finished doing so. Notably, opponents can't try to remove cards from your graveyard to stop you from collecting evidence. (2024-02-02)
