can something cancel a planeswaker ability?

can something cancel a planeswalker ability?
Once an ability is on the stack you can use the counter abilities cards which siegfried enumerated (+Bind ), or if the ability has a target, by making that target illegal (shroud, protection), thus making the ability fizzle.
don't forget that, when a player plays a planewalker and the spell resolves, it still has priority to use a PW ability by the time the opponent is given priority.

Phyrexian Revoker is going to be a stellar card.
It's basically a creature pithing needle. Awesome! I need me some revoker.

well i would rather have pithing needle.
for a creature there are too many answers in each top deck in standard.

True.
Why are you trying to throw a wet towel on my revoker party? :-(
haha.
Yeah. But the revoker is in standard and the needle isn't, so I'll take what I can get to combat those pesky planeswalkers.

yes, the pithing is gone, and we'll use revoker, but he will not not be at the same power.

It's good to note that he can shut down mana abilities, unlike his cousin.
And he's an artifact, so all those Go for the Throat s in UB Jace will make for some interesting tension.

They still play disfigure/doom blade/smother/consume the meek.

Ok. How about Phyrexian Revoker plus Indomitable Archangel ??
Now we are cooking with gas!

Toss a Darksteel Plate on that bad boy, now you're cooking with Pro-pane and propane accessories.
Looks like I'm dipping into build a 'No' deck, 4x Phyrexian Revoker , 4x Pithing Needle , 4x Meddling Mage , 2x Indomitable Archangel .. bruahahahahah
now i'm off to build

Dude, you gotta Prototype Portal that Revoker. And be ready to Rite of Replication the Meddling Mage. NO CARD EVER MADE CAN BE USED OR PLAYED.

I'd honestly rather be able to punk manlands with Pithing Needle than mana abilities with Phyrexian Revoker .
Siegfried says... Accepted answer #1
Stifle , Trickbind , Voidslime or anything similar will counter them as they happen, since they are activated abilities. Pithing Needle and Phyrexian Revoker will stop them from ever activating in the first place.
