  • WotCOct 4, 2004

    The ability may tap walls even when Ali Baba is tapped or entered that turn, since the activation cost doesn't include {T}.

  • WotCOct 4, 2004

    This 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.
