Can you use creature abilities on your first turn in MTG?
Totally, you can use creature abilities on your first turn in Magic The Gathering, but there's a catch. Your creature needs to not have 'summoning sickness,' a rule that prevents most creatures from attacking or using abilities that require tapping the same turn they come into play. However, if the ability doesn't require tapping or the creature has haste (which means it's not affected by summoning sickness), go wild!

No way, summoning sickness says hi. Unless it's a haste creature, then maybe.
Absolutely! I've been playing MTG for years, and using abilities on the first turn can be a game-changer. Just remember the summoning sickness rule. But if you're talking about creatures like Ornithopter with abilities that don't require tapping, then yes, fire away from turn one!
