Can a face-down MTG card have abilities?
Yep, a face-down card in MTG can indeed have abilities! While it's chilling face-down, it's considered to have no name, color, mana cost, or power/toughness, BUT if the card itself has any static abilities or triggers while it's face-down, those still apply. So, if you're playing with morph or megamorph, remember, those sneaky abilities can still surprise your opponent!

Short answer: Yes. Abilities still work even when the card is face-down. Don't overlook the power of hidden tricks!
Actually, it's kinda rare and depends. Most of the time, a face-down card is just a 2/2 creature with no abilities, unless the card or the situation specifically says otherwise. So, not every face-down card is gonna be a game changer.
