For example, a player can't cycle Eternal Dragon or return an Eternal Dragon from their graveyard to hand if Pithing Needle naming Eternal Dragon is on the battlefield.
  • You can name any card, even if that card doesn't normally have an activated ability. You can't name a token unless that token has the same name as a card.
  • Once Pithing Needle has left the battlefield, activated abilities of sources with the chosen name can be activated again.
  • Activated abilities include a colon and are written in the form "[cost]: [effect]." Triggered abilities and static abilities of the named card work normally.
