How to keep the Wolf Crying...

[Hardy Range]

Spawned by another thread here about Cry Wolves and how to untap them,
I got this idea:

Could I use a Restructure on my Cry Wolf, so that during my untap
phase, I fisrt use the effect of Restructure to pay 1 pool and untap
the 'Wolf, and then check the Wolfs card text, finding that he is not
tapped, so I do not need to burn him?

Or is the clause "If he is tapped during your untap phase, burn him."
meaning: If he is tapped _at any point_ during your untap phase,...",
so that he burns regardless of wether he somehow is untapped later
during the untap?

Restructure [SW:R]
Cardtype: Action
Cost: 1 blood
Discipline: Dementation
[dem] (D) Put this card on any ally. This ally does not untap as
normal during his or her controller's untap phase. His or her
controller can burn a pool during his or her untap phase to untap this
ally.
[DEM] (D) Take control of an ally controlled by another Methuselah.

Cry Wolf [Anarchs:R2]
Cardtype: Ally
Unique werewolf with 3 life. 2 strength, 0 bleed. Requires a ready
anarch.
If the action to recruit this ally is blocked, the acting anarch goes
to torpor. This werewolf must enter combat with any minion controlled
by another Methuselah as a (D) action. He gets one optional press each
combat. This werewolf does not untap as normal during your untap
phase. If he is tapped during your untap phase, burn him.

The former. If you can untap the ally, he won't face the consequences
of being tapped.
