Sublime Epiphany's second mode can't counter an activated or triggered mana ability. Abilities that apply “as enters the battlefield” are also replacement effects and can't be countered. ” Some keyword abilities (such as prowess) are triggered abilities and will have “when,” “whenever,” or “at” in their reminder text.Ībilities that create replacement effects, such as a permanent entering the battlefield tapped or with counters on it, can't be countered.

Triggered abilities use the word “when,” “whenever,” or “at.” They're often written as “. ” Some keyword abilities (such as equip) are activated abilities and will have colons in their reminder texts. It doesn't prevent abilities from being activated or from triggering later in the turn, and it has no effect on static abilities.Īctivated abilities are written in the form “. Sublime Epiphany's second mode counters only activated and triggered abilities already on the stack. For example, if you choose to counter target spell, return target nonland permanent to its owner's hand, and have target player draw a card, that permanent will be on the battlefield while that spell is countered (and may modify, affect, or trigger on that event) but will not be on the battlefield while that player draws a card. If you choose more than one mode, you perform the modes in the order specified. If any of the targets become illegal, the remaining targets are affected as appropriate. You can't choose any one mode more than once.
