MTG Advance Player's Video #2 Summoning Sickness

http://wiki.mtgsalvation.com/article/Summoning_sickness

Summoning sickness is an informal term for the rule that a creature cannot attack or use activated abilities either with the tap or untap symbol if it has not been continuously controlled by a player since the beginning of that player's most recent turn. The logic behind the term is that a creature is so disoriented by the experience of being summoned that it has to rest before it can do anything more than defend itself or use simple abilities.

There is a quiz at the end of this video.

If you need to see the cards in the quiz up close here are the links to those cards.

No you cna not because the elf is suffering from SS but you can tap the artifact

[jedi1josh]

Everyone else here disagrees with you

[ans0lo]

@BlackJack001988 it is certainly NOT unnecessary to do like in the video. In the video, you get 2 creatures and the artifact out all in one turn. In your method, you would only be able to play two of those cards. Being able to play more cards is an advantage.

[voyvan]

yes you can do it because is arfifact ability no Llanowar elf ability you are using

[diegosvega]

@TheMrJakethesnake Every creature has summoning sickness unles it has haist. It doesn´t matter if it artifact-creature, if it is a creature it has SS.

[thewriterjustin]

yes because the artifact is using the ability not the elf

[TheMrJakethesnake]

What about artifact-creatures?

@Luigi84289 the official rule book states that “summoning

sickness”: a creature can’t attack, or use an ability that has oT in its cost, until it has

started your turn on the battlefield under your control.

so until your following turn it is still effected by summoning sickness since during your opponent's turn it still haven't entered your next turn under your control

[tomstone123]

you can do it since you are using the artifact's ability of tapping a creature to add a mana of any color to your mana pool

[BlackJack001988]

wow... this thing in the end is pretty much unnecessary... u could tap the green mana and play birds of paradise anyway lol... but to answer the question, yes, it's possible

[Luigi84289]

@CodyM not from the way I was taught. As soon as your turn ends the creature can be tapped. Maybe this is no longer legal but the people I play with and the way I learned pushed that if you play a LLanowar elves for example you can use that to help you cast an instant on the next turn.
