<p>If a non-creature permanent turns into a creature until end of turn and attacks, does it remain tapped after it stops being one?</p>
<p>For example, if I activate <a class="mtg-autocard" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer" href="https://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?name=Sarkhan%2C%20the%20Dragonspeaker">Sarkhan, the Dragonspeaker</a>'s first ability, then attack with him, and then end my turn, will Sarkhan remain tapped when he stops being a dragon?</p>

The technical term you're looking for is *tapped*, not "turned".

(Asked by: username_0 on 2015-07-06)

If a non-creature permanent turns into a creature until end of turn and attacks, does it remain tapped after it stops being one?

For example, if I activate [Sarkhan, the Dragonspeaker](https://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?name=Sarkhan%2C%20the%20Dragonspeaker)'s first ability, then attack with him, and then end my turn, will Sarkhan remain tapped when he stops being a dragon?
