For Challenge # 065.
So... this wants things like Wildheart Invoker or Flamewave Invoker on the table? Or an animated Door to Nothingness, I suppose :)
No, I think it means "
, Tap untapped blue creature you control, discard ~: Counter target activated ability." It basically makes the spell uncounterable by Counterspells (but not Stifles) by tapping a creature.
Funny how this spell could have had Convoke written on it instead, and the effect would be the same. I'm sure the commons would have a much higher cost, though, similar to Ramosian Rally.
Also funny that Muffle won't counter Muffle, even though this spell is cast 'as though it were an activated ability'.
Why can't you Muffle a Muffle? It's an activated ability, not a spell.
If you can activate an ability as if it were a sorcery, it doesn't become a sorcery in the process. Muffle doesn't become an activated ability, the way it's worded. That said... I think it could if you tossed the words 'though it was' and 'as you cast this spell'... which would be pretty interesting, if you ask me.
You don't activate "as a sorcery," you activate "any time you could cast a sorcery." Only in reminder text (like equip) is the first phrase used, but that doesn't count.
