Giant Oyster

Creature - Oyster 0/3, 2UU (4)
You may choose not to untap Giant Oyster during your untap step.
{T}: For as long as Giant Oyster remains tapped, target tapped creature doesn't untap during its controller's untap step, and at the beginning of each of your draw steps, put a -1/-1 counter on that creature. When Giant Oyster leaves the battlefield or becomes untapped, remove all -1/-1 counters from the creature.¹
