If you stifle the activated ability of a cycling card, more specifically any of the scourge decrees, will the triggered ability still be triggered? I think it works but then bind would be played a little more so I am not completely sure of anything anymore Sad

Stifling the activated ability of Cycling does not stop any triggered abilities that trigger when a card is Cycled. The trigger will trigger when the Cycling ability is played, so it doesn't matter if the cycling ability actually resolves, the trigger is independent of it at that point.

So, to clairify: If you have Stifle when your opponent cycles a Decree of Justice you can either stop him from drawing his card from the cycling or stop him from getting the tokens that come from the cycling trigger, but not both.

Is that correct?

Correct. To stop both would require two counters.

If I recall correctly, you have to stifle the tokencreation-trigger before mana for it is payed. So if I have 15 mana available, a decree of justice and a mana drain, I can cycle decree (12 mana left), and then see if my opponent stifles the token-creation. If he doesnt, I can pump all my mana in the token-creation. If he does stifle, I can first mana drain his stifle, and thereafter create 10 tokens. Correct?
