Question about phasing

[zebucompany]

If a creature is tapped, then phases out during the untap step, then phases back in, does it return tapped or untapped? if it returns tapped, do you still get to untap it, or does it enter after the untap step entirely?

I've read the rules on like 3 different sites and cant find this addressed, how does untapping phased permanents work??

502.15h Phased-out cards "remember" their past histories and will return to play in the same state. They "remember" any counters they had on them, any choices made when they first came into play, and whether they were tapped or untapped when they left play. They also "remember" who controlled them when they phased out, although they may phase in under the control of a different player if a control effect with limited duration has expired. Example: Diseased Vermin reads, in part, "At the beginning of your upkeep, Diseased Vermin deals X damage to target opponent previously dealt damage by it, where X is the number of infection counters on it." If Diseased Vermin phases out, it "remembers" how many counters it has and also which opponents it has previously damaged. When it phases back in, it will still be able to target those opponents with its upkeep-triggered ability.

In short, it comes back into play in the same state as when it left. If it was tapped it will still be tapped when it returns to the battlefield.

Hope this helps.★
