Official rulings

If using a copy of the Tablet, you must trade the copy card to your opponent just like you would have traded the Tablet.

2004-10-04 · Wizards of the Coast

You can take control of your opponent's Tablet and in the trade you only have to give them back their Tablet.

2004-10-04 · Wizards of the Coast

You can't choose to pay 10 life if you have less than 10 life, but you may choose to give up the game immediately. This has roughly the same effect.

2004-10-04 · Wizards of the Coast

If the card being targeted by the Bronze Tablet is removed before Tablet takes effect, then the Tablet ability doesn't resolve and it remains tapped.

2004-10-04 · Wizards of the Coast

If the tablet is not still on the battlefield when the ability resolves, it is not exiled. The other player still has the choice to pay 10 life, and you still become the owner of their card if they choose not to do so.
