Destroying a creature in response to activating an ability
Asked by LordArazeal 8 years ago
Vizkopa Guildmage activates it's second ability, and in response my opponent Shocks it. it's ability is still on the stack, does the creature deck remove the ability from the stack, or will it still resolve?
A good comparison would be Vizkopa Guildmage's first ability. If you activated the ability targeting itself and it was destroyed. When the ability goes to resolve it would fizzle since its target is gone, but the key point is that the ability was still there and didn't disappear when Vizkopa Guildmage was removed.

Abilities on the stack exist independent of their source. So removing the creature will not counter the ability and it's still on the stack waiting to resolve.
Though granted, some abilities won't do anything when they resolve without the creature in play.
