   If you name a card that has both a mana ability and another activated ability, the mana ability can be activated but the other ability can't be activated.

2. 2005-06-01

   You can name any card, even if that card doesn't normally have an activated ability. You can't name a token unless that token has the same name as a card.

3. 2005-06-01

   Pithing Needle affects cards regardless of what zone they're in. This includes cards in hand, cards in the graveyard, and exiled cards. For example, a player can't cycle Eternal Dragon or return an Eternal Dragon from their graveyard to hand if Pithing Needle naming Eternal Dragon is on the battlefield.

4. 2009-10-01

   Once Pithing Needle has left the battlefield, activated abilities of sources with the chosen name can be activated again.

5. 2012-10-01

   Activated abilities include a colon and are written in the form "[cost]: [effect]." Triggered abilities and static abilities of the named card work normally.
