I just want to clarify this. If I name "Wasteland" with a Pithing Needle will that prevent my opponent from sacking it? I know that Pithing Needle doesn't work on mana abilities but will it prevent the "second" ability from being used? I assume so.

Correct, just like it prevents Vhitu-Ghazi making tokens in t2. It doesn't say non-land card in the text, so feel free to name anything. Maze of Ith was one of my personal favorites.

Note: the Wasteland will still be able to tap for mana, since Needle can't turn off the mana ability. But it can turn off the land-destroying ability, as well as any additional nonmana abilities it might acquire (say from Flame Fusillade).

Thanks guys. I basically asked that question as a solution to wasteland targeting Tiaga and the guildpact R/G dual land, so my kird apes would maintain its +1/+2 ability. running 8 Tiagas and 4 Wooded Foothills makes Kird Ape a force to be reckoned with in both Legacy and Vintage IMO.

You can actually name any card with Pithing Needle, it's just a matter of whether it will do anything. You can name Island, if you really want to, for instance.

if your opponent has a Wasteland out, and you play Pithing Needle, the can waste something in response while Needle is on the stack.
once it hits play, and you name Wasteland, then it's too late to waste stuff.

And I´ve seen them name Metalworker and Ophidian too. Knowing the rules is pretty vital when you want to play Magic at a certain level. |

once it hits play, and you name Wasteland, then it's too late to waste stuff. Just to be clear, if your opponent does use his Wastes in response then you have the option of naming something else, right. In other words, you name on resolution. Leo |

Just to be clear, if your opponent does use his Wastes in response then you have the option of naming something else, right. In other words, you name on resolution. Leo This is correct. You don't name the card until the needle enters play. So, you really shouldn't say anything at all regarding the named card until Pithing Needle resolves. Of course if he does waste in response, you can still name wasteland if you want to prevent any future use of other wastelands. |
