Official Rulings (7)
Each player tracks their speed (or lack thereof) separately. Increasing your speed has no effect on whether another player has speed.
βMax speed β [ability]β means βAs long as you have max speed, this object has [ability].β If the granted ability functions in a zone other than the battlefield, the max speed ability does too.
Your speed doesnβt change until a spell or ability says so, such as the inherent triggered ability that cares about opponents losing life during your turn. Notably, losing control of permanents with start your engines! doesnβt affect your speed.
Start your engines! isnβt a triggered ability. Increasing your speed to 1 is something that happens as a state-based action as soon as you control a permanent with the ability. Notably, this includes gaining control of a permanent with the ability that another player controls.
Mana abilities donβt use the stack, which means that they canβt be responded to. Notably, this means that a player canβt respond to this creatureβs last ability by destroying one of your Goblins.
A player βhas max speedβ if their speed is 4.
If an effect needs to know what a playerβs speed is and that player doesnβt have a speed, their speed is considered 0.
