Notes and Rules Information for Voidstone Gargoyle:
  • The named card can be cast face down. (2007-02-01)
  • You can name either half of a split card, but not both. If you do so, that half (and both halves, if the split card has fuse) can’t be cast. The other half is unaffected. (2007-02-01)
  • Voidstone Gargoyle stops activated abilities that are mana abilities from being activated, unlike Pithing Needle. (2007-02-01)
  • Activated abilities of copies of a spell with that name (such as Lightning Storm) cannot be activated. (2007-07-15)
  • Activated abilities contain a colon. They’re generally written “[Cost]: [Effect].” Some keywords are activated abilities and will have colons in their reminder text. (2016-06-08)
