i think this can be cleared up a bit

Siphon 1 (At the beginning of your upkeep, tap an untapped permanent you control or sacrifice CARDNAME.)

At the beginning of your precombat main phase, add X green mana to your mana pool where X is the number of siphoned permanents you control.

is that legit? did WOTC ever print something that referred to "detained permanents" or anything?

WOTC are moving in that direction. Septic Rats introduced the term "poisoned". They allow cards to say "Whenever Renegade Krasis evolves" or "When Sidisi's Faithful exploits a creature" or "When Nessian Wilds Ravager enters the battlefield, if tribute wasn't paid". I'm sure they'd be happy to add terminology if the card is cool enough to allow it.

See also Takeno, Samurai General's weird "for each point of bushido it has".

oh wow, that's some of the oddest rules text i've seen on a modern-frame card

cool, thanks for clearing that up alex

"At the beginning of your upkeep, add a number of {g} to your mana pool equal to the total instances of siphon on permanents you control." -> "At the beginning of your upkeep, add {g} to your mana pool for each point of siphon amongst permanents you control."
