  • 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 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.
