Firbolg Flutist's triggered ability can target any creature you don't control, even one that is untapped.

Wotc — June 10, 2022

Gaining control of a creature doesn't cause you to gain control of any Auras or Equipment attached to it.

Wotc — June 10, 2022

The term “defending player” in the myriad rules (or any other ability of an attacking creature) refers to the player the creature with myriad was attacking or the controller of the planeswalker it was attacking at the time the ability resolves. If that creature is no longer attacking, it refers to the player it was last attacking or the controller of the planeswalker it was last attacking.

Wotc — June 10, 2022

If the defending player is your only opponent, no tokens are put onto the battlefield.

Wotc — June 10, 2022

You choose whether each token is attacking the player or a planeswalker they control as the token is created. If it’s attacking a planeswalker, you choose which one.

Wotc — June 10, 2022

Although the tokens enter the battlefield attacking, they were never declared as attackers. Abilities that trigger whenever a creature attacks won’t trigger, including the myriad ability of the tokens. If there are any costs to have a creature attack, those costs won’t apply to the tokens.

Wotc — June 10, 2022

The tokens all enter the battlefield at the same time.

Wotc — June 10, 2022

Each token copies exactly what was printed on the original creature and nothing else. It doesn’t copy whether that creature is tapped or untapped, whether it has any counters on it or Auras and Equipment attached to it, or any non-copy effects that have changed its power, toughness, types, color, and so on.

Wotc — June 10, 2022

Any enters-the-battlefield abilities of the copied creature will trigger when the tokens enter the battlefield. Any “as [this permanent] enters the battlefield” or “[this permanent] enters the battlefield with” abilities of the copied creature will also work.

Wotc — June 10, 2022

If myriad creates more than one token for any given player (due to an effect such as the one Doubling Season creates), you may choose separately for each token whether it’s attacking the player or a planeswalker they control.
