Can I use Opposition with enchantments animated by Opalescence on the turn they come out?

Asked by Genderfluidia 2 years ago

So, if I Replenish a bunch of enchantments, Opalescence and Opposition being 2 of them, can I tap my creature enchantments to opposition first turn, or do they have summoning sickness?

That works. The summoning sickness rule specifically stops a creature from attacking or using one of its own abilities with either the or symbol in the cost. Opposition gets around this because what you're doing is activating Opposition's ability, not a ability of the creature itself. You're even allowed to tap a "summoning sick" Opposition to activate itself, because the ability doesn't actually have the symbol in the cost.

Thanks, that's the answer I was hoping to get!

This is why you can use Earthcraft ability on freshly created creatures, but those same new creatures can’t generate mana from Cryptolith Rite
