Can You Use a Card's Ability If It's Tapped in Magic The Gathering?
Totally! In Magic The Gathering, whether or not you can use a card's ability after it's tapped depends on what the ability says. If the ability itself requires you to tap the card as part of its cost (you'll see a tap symbol), then no, you can't use it once the card is already tapped. BUT if the ability doesn’t specifically say you need to tap, then you can still use it even if the card's lying there tired out from being tapped.

Nope, you can't. Once a card is tapped, that's it. It's taking a nap and can't do anything else till it's untapped again.
Yes, you can still use abilities on a tapped card in MTG as long as the ability itself doesn’t require tapping the card as a cost. I've played countless games where utilizing abilities of tapped cards turned the tide in my favor. Always read your cards closely!
