Rulings

2017-03-14

No abilities of artifacts can be activated, including mana abilities.
2017-03-14
Stony Silence's ability affects only artifacts on the battlefield. Activated abilities that work in other zones (such as cycling) can still be activated. Triggered abilities (starting with "when," "whenever," or "at") are unaffected.
