[QUOTE=groundandpound420]Okay, so I just read the rules front to back, and there's one thing that occurs quite often in games with my friends that I still don't understand.

The Scenario:
I tap Palladium Myr, paying its cost to add it's ability to the stack.
In response, my opponent pays the cost to add Tumbling Magnet's ability to the stack, choosing Palladium Myr as it's target.

I understand that Tumbling Magnet's ability resolves before Palladium Myr's, however, since the tapping occurred as paying it's cost, does Palladium Myr's ability still activate?[/QUOTE]

- You tap Palladium Myr, it's effect goes on the stack
- He taps Tumble Magnet targetting Palladium Myr, goes on the stack
- stack resolves
- Palladium myr is already tapped so the Tumble effect does nothing
- Myr effect resolves, you get your 2 mana

that's it, just like you already seemed to know

Thank you very much, that is how I thought it worked, but I'm rather new to the game and wanted to double-check before calling him out on it.
