  • A mana ability is an ability that produces mana, not an ability that costs mana.
  • Activated abilities contain a colon. They’re generally written “[Cost]: [Effect].” Some keyword abilities, such as equip, are activated abilities and will have colons in their reminder text.
  • Damping Matrix’s ability affects only artifacts and creatures on the battlefield. Activated abilities that work in other zones (such as bloodrush or unearth) can still be activated. Triggered abilities (starting with “when,” “whenever,” or “at”) are unaffected.

    Rules

  • If an effect exiles a card from a library and allows a player to cast it, that player may do so. The spell is cast from exile, not a library.
  • Look at the card as it exists in your graveyard to determine whether it can enter the battlefield. For example, Sculpting Steel can be put onto the battlefield as a copy of a creature, but Phyrexian Metamorph can't be put onto the battlefield, even if it would copy a noncreature artifact.
  • Manifesting a card from a graveyard or library is an impossible action while Grafdigger's Cage is on the battlefield.
  • Players can still play lands from graveyards or libraries if an effect allows them to do so.

    Rules

  • If you name a card that has both a mana ability and another activated ability, the mana ability can be activated but the other ability can't be activated.
  • Pithing Needle affects cards regardless of what zone they're in. This includes cards in hand, cards in the graveyard, and exiled cards. 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.
