Stifle vs Bridge

[dahcmai]

Can you stifle a Bridge from below trigger? Simple enough question.

I wasn't sure since it's in the graveyard and typically cards that don't mention what zone they affect are talking about in play so I doubted you could.

On the same note, how about a Narcomoeba getting flipped into play from the library?


Damn, comprehensive rules isn't real specific on it.

[heroicraptor]

Yes on both accounts. They are both triggered abilities and can be stifle'd.

[DeathwingZERO]

For specific cards such as Stifle and Trickbind, remember this:

Triggered abilities are not the card themselves, and therefor zones do not matter.

You do not target the spell (storm mechanic), card in graveyard (Bridge From Below) or library (Narcomoeba), creature (Goblin Piledriver), etc.

If it is a triggered ability and is not a mana source, it can be hit unless it specifically states otherwise.

With Ichorid, you can also target Ichorid's trigger, but not the Dredge ability on the dredge cards

[dahcmai]

Yeah, I knew Dredge specifically was a replacement effect and therefore not targetable. I just wasn't sure about the zone for the triggered abilities. I guess that's one of the few times you can stifle an effect by something that's not in play.

That helps a lot, thanks!

Remember that you're Stifling the ability. Where the ability came from is irrelevant.

[quicksilver]

Except for Teffri's response, which cares if the ability came from a permanant.

[Forbiddian]

Except for Teffri's response, which cares if the ability came from a permanant.

Or trickbind, which also does. But whatever.

[Julian23]

It seems you assume the abilities are "in the graveyard" whereas the only location they exist a zone called "the stack".

[dahcmai]

Yeah, makes sense if you put it that way.


Trickbind is different? They are worded the same way aside from a mention of permanents, but it's only in that particular case for the rest of the spells effect. Doesn't seem like that one would be different.
