Scheming Fence
Oracle Text

Activated abilities of the chosen permanent can't be activated.
This creature has all activated abilities of the chosen permanent except for loyalty abilities. You may spend mana as though it were mana of any color to activate those abilities.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Scheming Fence is a clever Azorius-style tool that rewards control and tempo decks that want to turn an opposing permanent into a liability and then profit from its best part. On entry, it can shut off the activated abilities of a key artifact, creature, or planeswalker, which is already strong disruption against mana rocks, sacrifice engines, utility creatures, or fetch-like effects. The real twist is that the Fence steals those activated abilities for itself, letting you use them with any color of mana, which makes it excellent in value shells and especially nasty in combo decks built to exploit powerful tap, tutor, or utility abilities. It pairs well with cards that can untap or protect it, and with blink effects that let you re-target a new permanent as the board changes. In practice, it is less of a body and more of a flexible answer-plus-engine that can swing a game by stealing the right tool at the right time.
