Can you use creature abilities during an opponent's turn in MTG?
Absolutely! In Magic The Gathering, many creature abilities can be used during your opponent's turn. The key is to look for abilities that either have 'Instant' timing or don't specify when they can be activated. These types of abilities can be activated pretty much any time you have priority, including during your opponent's turn, making for some strategic plays!

Nope, not all of them. Gotta read the card. If it says it can, then go for it. If not, then no dice.
Yep, you def can! Used it to turn the tables more times than I can count. Just make sure the ability isn't restricted to only your turn. Instant-speed shenanigans are the best!
Actually, yes, but it depends. Some abilities are locked to your turn only, so always check the card text. But when you can, dropping surprises on your opponent's turn is what makes MTG so fun!
