Ice Floe and Manlands

[wonkey_donkey]

How does ice floe interact with man-lands? Say, if mishra's factory was to attack and was tapped by the floe, would it then not untap again whilst the ice floe remained tapped? Or does the floe require the card to still be a creature during the untap phase? Crystalkeep wasn't clear, so I thought I'd go to here next.

Thanks,

shh.... my secret 3CB tech. .

Ice Floe

      Color= Land    Type= Land    Cost= None    IA(U)/5(U)
      Text (5th): You may choose not to untap ~this~ during your untap step. ; : Tap target creature without flying that's attacking you. It doesn't untap during its controller's untap step as long as ~this~ remains tapped. [Oracle 2000/01/15]

What makes me wonder is the ambiguity of "It".  I believe that it does work for manlands as I believe that it refers to the card itself, not the creature.  (or else I wouldn't have submitted it).  But I'm not 100% sure so wait for Jebus or Jaap

As long as the Floe remains tapped, the targeted permanent will stay tapped, regardless of its types.
