An update to an older card, plus her big sister. As the illustrations suggest, these cards represent the siblings in an age before natural satellites were used for strategic defense.

So wait, if untapping Luna taps everything else... You start your turn off not untapping them?

Also, does the tap symbol mean you have to tap it without attacking, or simply when she gets tapped?

The tap symbol is a cost; it means that to use the ability, you tap the card. Tapping to attack is mutually exclusive.

Do any other cards have an untap in their activation cost? 'Cause I'm wondering what the difference is rules-wise between that and "WWW: Untap Celestia, Deity of Yore and all nonlegendary Pony creatures you control."

Untap symbols were introduced in one of the recent expansions. The main difference is that it's a cost; if Celestia is untapped, she can't activate the ability, and she untaps even if something happens to prevent the ability from going through.

@ dragonSpike: You start your turn with only legendary Ponies untapped.
As Luna has vigilance, you can still attack with Luna and untap your nonlegendary ponies afterwards, or untap them before combat to attack with them, so you don't really "lose" your other Ponies. You just have to choose whether you want to do the attacking/blocking with them or with Luna.

Of course, there are plenty of ways to "cheat" around the sisters' drawbacks with other cards and turn them to your advantage...

@ #233283: What Eco said.
It's a subtle difference, and the main reason I chose to template the card that way was to reinforce the symmetry between the two sisters.
It also forces you to tap Celestia by attacking or using another card on her before you can "raise the sun" with her activated ability, making it a little riskier/harder to use.
