nullify and pack rat

Asked by skozzkozz 9 years ago

Can I use Nullify when my opponent creates a copy of Pack Rat to counter that copy.

Abilities and spells are different from each other. Activating the ability of Pack Rat isn't the same as casting a spell, and only effects that can specifically counter abilities (there are some in the game, but not many) can be used to counter it. Nullify can't do this.

Creating a copy of pack rat is an activated ability. It is not a spell, let alone a creature or an aura one. The only way to counter the ability is via a card like Stifle or preemptively, with Pithing Needle or Phyrexian Revoker .
