I know this is something of a dumb question, so please forgive the simplicity.
I’m wondering about summoning sickness - specifically its implications on the first turn a goblin sharpshooter is played.
I understand Haste, I understand abilities that don’t require tapping, etc. But with a sharpshooter, the death of a creature seems to remove the effect of summoning sickness and it should then be able to be tapped to cause 1 damage. Is this accurate - even on the first turn it comes out? Or is a goblin sharpshooter prohibited from its ability to tap on first turn, regardless of other creatures dying?
As to the question, nothing about the Goblin's ability changes anything about whether the Sharpshooter is sick. If it is sick, it can't tap for its ability (or attack). A creature dying will attempt to untap it and that is it. But since it is likely already untapped that won't do much either. A creature dying will not remove summoning sickness from it.
