I got a lot of cards for my snake deck from Kamigawa. So, I think its a good set.
And how dare a card originally from Kamigawa have art that makes it look like its from Kamigawa.
What an atrocity.

I like to call this Constipation Needle, because it stops things that have a colon.

Baneslayer? Buh bye! Iona? See ya! All those other pesky angels you know you hate to have played on you! BYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYE!
...those aren't activated abilities.
Activated abilities are denoted by the colon (or is a planeswalker). If the text doesn't have a colon, it's not an activated ability.
This is a great sideboard card, many decks I run have 4x in it.

You could name Oblivion Ring, but it wouldn't do anything. Oblivion Ring doesn't have an activated ability. It's just an ability... if you could name just abilities this card would be absurd. It's really good, but it's not absurd.

I just realized this can hit fetch lands =) But yeah, this is pretty obscene. And sorta randomly, it's also good against all the gy hate in legacy...crypt, relic...

The art for this card always makes me squirm.
Great ability though, can get crazy when used with master transmuter. You can block a ridiculous amount of potential threats. 5/5

@Faildini:
I think you should take a look at the rulings yourself. Pithing needle does not remove abilities, it simply disallows permanents with the chosen name from using their activated abilities.
In the case of the sliver thing, we'll say you name Necrotic Sliver. It has a static ability which gives all slivers in play the activated ability "3, Sacrifice this permanent: Detroy target permanent.". The only creature that would be unable to use this ability is the Necrotic Sliver itself. All the other creatures are not named "Necrotic Sliver", and thus, can still use that activated ability.
Along with this scenario, we'll say you have Crypt Sliver, and Gemhide Sliver in play. The only ability that Necrotic Sliver would be allowed to use is the one given to it by Gemhide Sliver, because it's the only activated ability it would have at that point that is a mana ability.

Sad to say, but no. The art p... (see all)
