Rulings
Official rulings from Wizards of the Coast (2).
- 2004-10-04This ability may be used to tap more than one Wall per turn if you have enough mana, since tapping isn't part of the activation cost.
- 2004-10-04The ability may tap walls even when Ali Baba is tapped or entered that turn, since the activation cost doesn't include {T}.
