I would like to have these cleared up.

1. Can you use a Tap Effect on a card during you opponents turn?

2. If a creature with Double Strike would kill my Creature with the First stage of its combat (say his/her 3/3 V.s. my 2/2) would the Next 3 damage go to me or just do nothing?

3. Can you use Terramorphic Expanse as a colorless mana?

4. Can I burn Myself?

1/ yes

2/ you take the three damage. Double strike is first strike with an additional attack basically.

3/ no, its a fetch land

4/ no they got rid of mana burn unless you are thinking of aiming lighting bolt at yourself. In this case i must say yes

OK, then for 3, can I use a different card like Spawning Pool to make a colorless mana, even though it has an effect to add 1 Black Mana?

And for 4 I was meaning like a Lightning Bolt. (I should have Specified that.)

3)  No spawning pool adds black mana so you get black mana.  A non-basic land will always say on it what kind of mana it gives, if any.  If it doesn't say it gives colorless then it doesn't give colorless

I need to clarify Ghosts answer to number 2.  If the 3/3 has trample then yes you would take the 3 damage.  If the creature does not have trample then you will not.

So the Extra 3 damage it is capable of....won't hit me?

correct unless the 3/3 has trample. 

In a nutshell, when a attacker is blocked by a single creature it needs to assign all of its potential damage to the blocker, in this case 6.  In the event of a trampler only 2 damage needs to be assigned to the blocker and 4 to the player.

Well, That clears a good bit up, and it kinda pisses me off! I would have gotten six place if it wasn't for that!

You know if you are ever in a match and something doesn't seem right to you get a judge, thats what they are there for

Oh and for number 1 you can tap it as long as it doesn't say as sorcery and it has been under your control through 1 upkeep (ie doesn't have summoning sickness)

For number 4, yes you can burn yourself. As long as you don't have shroud, then you can be targeted as a player. That's why Swerve is so good against blightning.
