does trickbind stop activated abilities in the grave?
Asked by r3mu5 13 years ago
Can I use Trickbind to stop reassembling-skeletons from entering the field.
also, can I use Trickbind to counter Aura of Silence 's activated ability even though it is in the grave?

A card in the graveyard is nto a permanent and thus the second clause of Trickbind does not apply.

looked up the orical ruleings but did not see anything on abilitys from the graveyard but the ones on abilitys for outside of play renfoce the accepted answer
all orical ruleings
9/25/2006 If Trickbind counters an activated ability of a permanent, no activated abilities of that permanent can be activated for the remainder of the turn. This includes activated abilities other than the one that was countered, as well as any mana abilities that permanent may have. Other abilities of that permanent, including triggered abilities and static abilities, are unaffected.
9/25/2006 Trickbind can be used to counter the storm triggered ability. Doing so prevents the copies from being created, but doesn't counter the original storm spell.
9/25/2006 Trickbind can be used to counter the madness triggered ability. The affected card will remain exiled.
9/25/2006 Trickbind can be used to counter the suspend "remove a counter" ability. If so, the counter won't get removed, but the ability will trigger again as normal later on. Trickbind can also be used to counter the suspend "play this card" ability. If so, the card stays exiled (the ability won't trigger again). Using suspend to exile a card in your hand is neither an activated nor a triggered ability, so it can't be countered this way.
9/25/2006 Trickbind can be used to counter the echo triggered ability. If so, the echo ability won't trigger again so the echo cost is never paid.
9/25/2006 Trickbind can be used to counter the flanking triggered ability.
9/25/2006 Trickbind can't counter or prevent paying the morph cost to turn a face-down creature face up, since that action doesnt use the stack.
incase there are some other questions

Yes. Trickbind will counter activated or triggered abilities. Sacrificing is just part of the cost to activate the ability. Trickbind will counter the ability once it is on the stack, no matter where the permanent is at the time.
