Is Golos an activated ability?

Golos, Tireless Pilgrim’s ability can be activated during another players turn, but does doing so allow you to still play the cards if it is not your turn? The ability text says you may play those cards “this turn”.

Can you play land with Golos?

Golos’s last ability doesn’t change when you can play the exiled cards. If you exile a land card, you can play it only during your main phase and only if you have an available land play remaining.

Does Golos ability trigger cascade?

So it’s my understanding that “Play” for Golos, Tireless Pilgrim is interchangeable with casting. (from a previous conversation about another similar card I had). So cards played using his activated ability would get cast triggers such as eldrazi or cascade.

Does playing from exile count as casting?

No. These effects simply put the card onto the battlefield, they are not cast, so you cannot counter them. However, most effects like this create a delayed triggered ability to bring the exiled card back.

Does Golos count as casting?

In the case of Golos, “play them this turn” means that you can either cast them if they are spells, or play them as lands, whichever is appropriate (subject to normal rules of the game and other cards in play).

Is Golos multicolored?

Golos is, of course, colorless to play. Erm, ok I’ll bite. Because he is colorless, color is determined by casting cost not abilities. Because it’s not a 5 color permanent.

Is play the same as cast?

See rule 305, “Lands.” 701.14b To play a card means to play that card as a land or to cast that card as a spell, whichever is appropriate. Cards that were printed with that text have received errata in the Oracle card reference so they now refer to “casting” that spell or that card.
