The triggered ability can target any creature, including one that is already tapped. In that case, the creature stays tapped and won't untap during its controller's untap step.
2020-11-10
The ability stopping the creature from untapping will continue to apply to it even if the creature changes controllers.
2020-11-10
If another player gains control of Merchant Raiders, the creature will no longer be affected by the ability stopping it from untapping, even if you later regain control of Merchant Raiders.
