605.3b An activated mana ability doesn't go on the stack, so it can't be targeted, countered, or otherwise responded to. Rather, it resolves immediately after it is activated. (See rule 405.6c.)
405.6c Mana abilities resolve immediately. If a mana ability both produces mana and has another effect, the mana is produced and the other effect happens immediately. If a player had priority before a mana ability was activated, that player gets priority after it resolves. (See rule 605, "Mana Abilities.")
relavant rules, so to me this doesn't specifically say this card doesn't stop mana ablities since she isn't countering, targeting or responding.
Well, BIG F U from were I am reading if I were to play a Spawnsire because all he has is activated abilities besides that Annihilator 1. Oh well I will probably pick up a play set for a Lockdown deck.
I don't have any hard numbers on this, but I'm targeted more often than a black guy driving a beat-up sedan with a broken tail-light and no license plate, and Cy's well aware of that.
I'm just a little pissed that this is mythic. I got lucky and pulled a pair of iona from ww. But this seems to me like wizards was trying to make another $60 baneslayer angel. Chances of pulling this are pretty slim, so I have to go shell out an assload of cash to get one for my angel deck? By the time I'm done my angel deck will be worth more than my car,?!
Awsome card! A four mana 3/4 flyer isn't bad for mono white even if your opponents aren't playing activated abilities. As for stopping mana abilities, if it couldn't wizards would have had added a reminder text.

WOTC does not set prices... we do. If people don't want the card, they aren't going to pay crazy prices for it.
One good trick is saving up your pennies and buy a box or two. This set seems like it will more than pay for itself in mythics alone.
Flying
Activated Abilities of creatures your opponents control cannot be activated.
3/4
REALLY ROUGH google translation... please help! (Update Thanks for the Help!)
He also mentioned "There is an elf 1/1 costs 1G, and has the ability "your opponents can't make u sacrifice your permanents" Take from that what you will..
Your opponents cannot activate abilities from creatures he or she controls.
Linvala has 1 hit on Orb.
Guardian: 0.
Silence: 1.
legendary: 7.
angel: 3.
activated: 3.
abilities: 4.
ability: 5.
opponents: 3.
opponent: 7.
can't: 0 (common on control cards).
cannot: 0 (only used on Un- cards).
3/4: 1.
Much evidence for authenticity (Linvala, Silence, legendary, angel, activated, abilities, opponents), but some telling evidence against (Guardian - literal translation; can't - commonly on control cards).
I'm not sold until I see a more credible source showing this card due to the fact that two main words aren't in Orb. Also, what is the flavor behind this? Shouldn't all creatures/things on Zendikar be trying to stop the Eldrazi? This card would be helping the Eldrazi by stopping levelers, and also would only counter Spawnsire among the Eldrazi.
You could conjecture that she SERVES the Eldrazi, what with the lack of halo and all... but I seriously doubt that.
The best card to compare it to is Cursed Totem with wings and in white. Oh yeah and one-sided. The totem nails any activated ability including mana abilities. If you somehow animate a land permantely such as [card]Verdant Touch/[card] I guess it won't ever produce mana? Awesome card but I can imagine this card being played in U/W control alot... that ability is just too such to stop tempo of a lot of decks.

To the people that say that a card needs to be a higher rarity because of Limited... I hate you guys so much. I present to you with this.
I have bought a lot of boxes in the past and after doing it for 13 years I don't
1 have the money for it
2 like relying on luck to get what I want
Bought 3 boxes of m10
Got exactly 1 planeswalker
1 baneslayer
1 of each m10 dual.
So please forgive me if I do not particularly care for that option
Got friends? Split boxes with them, keep what you need, and sell the rest for more boxes. That way everyone is in the same boat and it's directly less loss of money for you when you pull crap rares.
Unless you don't have mature friends, in which case, lol sux 4 u.
Also, biggest pithing needle or biggest pithing needle ever?

She would stop them from being cracked if they were creatures.
It would also stop basic lands from making mana if they were creatures.
relavant rules, so to me this doesn't specifically say this card doesn't stop mana ablities since she isn't countering, targeting or responding.
So she doesn't stop Mana Abilities?
You're incorrect.
Mana abilities (of lands and creatures) are activated abilities. The rules you quoted even said so.
This card says: "Activated Abilities of creatures your opponents control cannot be activated."
Conclusion: You cannot tap Birds of Paradise for Mana, or any other mana producing creatures with Linvala in play.

I supose it feels mythic too.
and an elf that stops Annihilator...
that's a double bird-flip to ROE courtesy of WOTC ;p
I believe you got zero hits for "can't" because the orb is a bit tricky in regards to '.
try "can" and "not"
