Yes.

Rule 112.3b

[BlackJester]

Mana abilities are special:

112.4. Some activated abilities and some triggered abilities are mana abilities. Mana abilities follow special rules: They don't use the stack, and, under certain circumstances, a player can activate mana abilities even if he or she doesn't have priority. See rule 605, "Mana Abilities."

[tsul25]

Ah. I thought mana was just referring to land and went with the activated

The reminder text on {Stiffle} says no. 😉

{Linvala, Keeper of Silence} should do the trick, though. No caveats on her text.

How did I miss her in Eldrazi?

Brutal, isn't she? Mix that with a {Torpor Orb} and your opponents are probably going to have to resort to pretty crude tactics...

If you're playing against {Linvala, Keeper of Silence} and {Torpor Orb}... You're gonna have a bad time!

Do abilities such as birds have to have haste to use them? Cuz I thought abilities acted like instants so u could cast birds and use that mana it gives right away

[Bleakone]

Nope it is a creature so it still has summoning sickness, if it was an artifact you could tap it right away.

They're creatures so they have summoning sickness and the ability requires u to tap the bird which u can't do because of the summoning sickness.

Add in {Witchbane orb} then sit back and smile.
