  • Activated abilities contain a colon. They're generally written “[Cost]: [Effect].” Some keywords are activated abilities and will have colons in their reminder text.
  • Activated abilities of noncreature permanents that would make them become creatures (such as a Vehicle's crew ability) can still be activated. Once they become creatures, any abilities they have cannot be activated.
  • Cursed Totem doesn't stop players from activating abilities of creature cards that aren't on the battlefield, such as cycling or unearth.
  • Cursed Totem stops players from activating mana abilities of creatures.
  • Other abilities of creatures, including static abilities and triggered abilities, are unaffected.

    Flying

    Rules

  • If another spell is cast in response to the first spell, Nullstone Gargoyle doesn’t affect that second spell.
  • Nullstone Gargoyle cares about the first noncreature spell cast during a turn, not the first one it “sees.” If a noncreature spell was cast before Nullstone Gargoyle entered the battlefield, it won’t counter the next one.
