Can you untap an exerted creature in MTG?
Nope, can't do it. An exerted creature skips its next untap step, so just let it rest already.

Absolutely, you can untap an exerted creature in Magic The Gathering, but it's not going to happen through your standard untap step. Exerting means you've decided to tilt the creature's abilities up a notch for a round, but it's going to be too tuckered out to untap normally next turn. However, if you've got spells or abilities that specifically untap a creature, they don't care if that creature's stretching after a big exertion or just taking a normal nap. Whip out that spell, and your creature will be up and at 'em, exertion hangover cured!
I had a deck focused on exert mechanics, and here's a trick: Use cards like "Always Watching" or "Brute Strength". These gems untap your exerted creatures outside the normal untap step, giving your exhausted warriors a second wind. It's all about the card synergy!
