Can Transmute be Responded to in MTG?
Absolutely! In Magic The Gathering, you can totally respond to Transmute because it's an activated ability. Just like with any activated ability, your opponents get the chance to respond with instants or activated abilities of their own before the transmute ability resolves. Always good to have that counterspell or trick up your sleeve for moments like these!

FYI, tried responding to a Transmute last game night, and yep, my opponent just sat there waiting for my move. It's all about timing and knowing when to play your cards right鈥攍iterally.
Nah, you can't respond to the act of transmuting itself because it's not a spell鈥攊t's an ability. But you can definitely react to whatever comes after or any spells your opponent tries to cast post-transmute.
