1) Beginning Phase
This phase consists of three steps: Untap, Upkeep, and Draw.
a. Untap Step - During your untap step, you untap all your tapped permanents. You are not allowed to do anything else during this step.
b. Upkeep Step - This happens directly after untap and is the first time players may take action during a turn. Abilities that trigger at the beginning of upkeep go on the stack, and then players can play instants and abilities.
c. Draw step:
The first thing you do during your draw step is draw a card. Once that is done, both players may play spells and abilities.
I always was under the impression upkeep came before untap, but I guess not. This came from the Wizard's site: www.wizards.com/magic/magazine/article.aspx?x=mtgcom/academy/4
