Critical Rulings

"Abeyance does not affect abilities which are not activated, such as static abilities and triggered abilities. It also doesn't stop the declaration of attackers or blockers."

— 2004-10-04

"Abeyance never prevents mana abilities from being activated."

— 2004-10-04

"Abeyance prohibits activated abilities of cards which are not on the battlefield."

— 2004-10-04

"This can't be used as a counterspell. It will have no effect on spells which were on the stack when it was cast, nor on those cast in response to it."
