Rulings (2)
- Gelid Shackles doesn’t stop static abilities or triggered abilities from working. It also won’t prevent the creature from attacking unless the enchanted creature is given defender before attackers are declared.
- Activated abilities contain a colon. They’re generally written “[Cost]: [Effect].” Some keywords are activated abilities and will have colons in their reminder text.
