How does Sorcerous Spyglass work in MTG?
Sorcerous Spyglass is a pretty neat card in MTG! When you play it, you first peek at an opponent's hand and then choose any card name (not just the ones you saw). After that, the chosen card's activated abilities (except mana abilities) can't be activated, and that's true for cards on the battlefield, in hand, or anywhere really. So, if you've got a hunch your opponent has a game-winning creature or planeswalker, you can shut it down before it becomes a threat.

It just shuts down activated abilities of the named card. Choose wisely; it doesn't affect mana abilities, so you can't stop lands from tapping for mana. Simple and effective!
Honestly, Sorcerous Spyglass is overrated. Sure, you get to see your opponent's hand and silence a card, but smart players can work around it. Plus, if you name a card they don't draw, it's kind of a wasted effort.
