Absolutely! In MTG, abilities definitely go on the stack. This includes activated abilities (those you pay costs for, like tapping), triggered abilities (which start with 'when,' 'whenever,' or 'at'), and even some static abilities that have triggered effects. This stack system is what makes MTG the strategic game it is, allowing players to respond to almost anything. So, next time you trigger an ability, imagine it stacking up in an ethereal tower of actions, waiting to resolve!

Short and sweet: Yep, abilities go on the stack. That moment when you're both staring each other down, waiting to see who blinks first? That's the stack in action.

Nope, not always. Only abilities that specifically use the stack do. Most do, but always read the card to be sure!
