tsabo's web and cycling

Asked by stensiagamekeeper 6 years ago

I was wondering if Tsabo's Web would prevent lands with some form of cycling, i.e. Ash Barrens, from untapping. Thanks

The answer is yes, Tsabo's Web stops lands with cycling from untapping. Cycling is an activated ability that doesn't produce mana, and it exists in the text of the card even though the ability itself is not functional while the card is on the battlefield. See:

702.28b Although the cycling ability can be activated only if the card is in a player’s hand, it continues to exist while the object is on the battlefield and in all other zones. Therefore objects with cycling will be affected by effects that depend on objects having one or more activated abilities.
