Can I counter an activated ability in MTG?
Yep, you totally can counter an activated ability in Magic The Gathering! You'll need a card that specifically states it can counter abilities, not just spells. Cards like "Disallow" or "Stifle" are perfect for this. They let you say 'nope' right to your opponent's fancy ability, shutting it down before it can do any damage or cause any mischief.

Short answer: Yes. Look for cards like "Tale's End" or "Voidslime". They don't care if it's an ability or a spell; they just shut it down.
Absolutely, but remember, not all counterspells can hit abilities. Read your cards carefully. I once tried to counter an ability with a regular counterspell and felt pretty silly when it didn't work. So, grab the right tool for the job!
