Tap abilities can be used any time you can cast an instant, excepting abilities that state otherwise (such as Birthing Pod’s).
When can you tap a creature?
A creature’s activated ability with the tap symbol in its activation cost can’t be activated unless the creature has been under its controller’s control continuously since their most recent turn began. See rule 302.6.
Can you do tap abilities on opponent’s turn?
Yep. If they have an ability that would do so, there is nothing stopping them (aside from Summoning Sickness, targeting, the usual). Unless you are playing with Area of Effect.
Can you tap Sol Ring on opponents turn?
Yes, you may.
What happens when your opponent casts an instant to destroy a creature?
I was wondering if my opponent casts an instant to destroy target creature, during his or her turn, if I could respond by tapping a creature (perhaps the targeted creature if its untapped) to regenerate my creature before the spell is resolved? Yes, you can tap activate the abilities of a permanent in response to an instant.
What happens if you tap a creature in RuneScape?
If the tap or untap symbol is in the activation cost, the creature must have been under your control since the start of your turn (must not have summoning sickness). You must be able to pay the cost. (e.g. The creature cannot already be tapped if the ability has the tap symbol in its cost.)
Can a creature be activated as a sorcery?
Equip, Loyalty abilities and any other ability that specifically mention they can only be activated “as a sorcery” cannot be activated in response to another spell or ability. If the tap or untap symbol is in the activation cost, the creature must have been under your control since the start of your turn (must not have summoning sickness).
Where are the instances for instants in magic?
This little oasis is where either player can still cast instants, but your opponent is past the point of casting more creatures or sorceries. And, furthermore, it’s right before you untap. So, if you do something in your opponent’s end step, it’s kind of “free” since you untap right away afterward.
