Can you trigger Haunted Dead on your opponents turn?
Asked by mickslash77 7 years ago
Can you pay the mana cost to return Haunted Dead to the field on your opponents main phase 2?

Note that Haunted Dead's return ability is NOT triggered. It's an activated ability.
An activated ability is written in the form "[cost]: [effect]" (note the colon to separate the two). Activated abilities are manually activated; they never happen as a result of something else. When an activated ability is activated, its controller puts it onto the stack, makes choices for it, and pays its costs just like he or she were casting a spell.
A triggered ability is written in the form "[at/when/whenever] [event], [effect]." Triggered abilities happen automatically when the stated event occurs in the game. When a triggered ability triggers, its controller puts it onto the stack the next time a player receives priority.

It has two abilities one of them is triggered and by using activated ability on your opponent's turn you also get the triggered ability on opponent's turn.
