Absolutely! In Magic The Gathering, you can counter abilities using cards that specifically state they can counter targeted abilities. Cards like 'Disallow' or 'Stifle' are perfect for this. So next time your opponent thinks they're slick by activating a game-changing ability, slap down one of those and watch the disappointment on their face!

Short answer: Yes, but not with every counter card. Look for abilities like "counter target activated or triggered ability." It's all about having the right card at the right time!

Nope, you can't just counter abilities willy-nilly. You need a card that says it can counter an ability. Not all counterspells can target abilities, so read your cards carefully!
