Official Rulings (7)
You pay all costs and follow all normal timing rules for cards played from exile with Gila Courser’s first ability. For example, if the exiled card is a land card, you may play it only during your main phase while the stack is empty.
You may activate a permanent’s saddle ability even if that permanent is already saddled.
An ability that triggers when a creature “attacks while saddled” will trigger only if that creature was saddled when it was declared as an attacker.
“Saddled” isn’t an ability that a creature has. It’s just something true about that creature. It won’t stop being saddled until the turn ends or it leaves the battlefield.
Creatures with saddle can attack or block as normal even if they aren’t saddled.
“Saddle N” means “Tap any number of other untapped creatures you control with total power N or greater: This permanent becomes saddled until end of turn. Activate only as a sorcery.”
If a permanent becomes a copy of a saddled Mount, the copy won’t be saddled.
