You can pithing needle a {strangleroot giest} to stop it undying but not for things like {Wrecking ogre}s abilities right
No, that is a static ability. It has no cost and does not say "when", "whenever", or "if".

An activated ability has a " : "
Blood rush (see {slaughterhorn}) can indeed be shut off with the needle. Other abilities like undying that do not have a colon ( : ) are not effected.

Bloodrush is a mana ability, activated abilities like undying say when or whenever or if

Bloodrush is a mana ability
Mana abilities don't target and add mana to your mana pool. {Avacyn's Pilgrim} has a mana ability.
Quoteactivated abilities like undying say when or whenever or if
That's triggered abilities. Activated abilities are written "[Cost]: [Effect]."
Undying rule reference
702.92a (http://imtgapp.com/forum/index.php?action=imtg;area=rule;number=702.92a): Undying is a triggered ability. "Undying" means "When this permanent is put into a graveyard from the battlefield, if it had no +1/+1 counters on it, return it to the battlefield under its owner's control with a +1/+1 counter on it."

You've really been on top of these, i'm impressed. +1
Thanks. I'm working on becoming at least a rules advisor, and these threads are good practice.
