Official Ruling
An ability that triggers "whenever you tap a creature for mana" triggers only if you activate a mana ability of a creature including in its cost. Mana abilities that don't include the symbol and instead say "Tap an untapped creature you control" or similar won't cause Leyline of Abundance's second ability to trigger. Similarly, it won't trigger if you tap a creature to activate a mana ability of another object (even if that mana ability also includes ).

Official Ruling
A player's "opening hand" is the hand of cards the player has after all players have taken mulligans. If players have any cards in hand that allow actions to be taken with them from a player's opening hand, the starting player takes all such actions first in any order, followed by each other player in turn order. Then the first turn begins.

Leyline of Abundance was banned in pioneer on November 4, 2019. Leyline of Abundance not only enables explosive ramp starts on its own but also provides two devotion for no mana cost to power up Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx. Our hope is that in the long term, Nykthos can add diversity to the metagame as a part of fun and healthy devotion strategies. Therefore, we're choosing to ban Leyline of Abundance as the card that enables the deck's fastest, most powerful opening turns.
