sorcerous spyglass not working
i was in quick draft i had sorcerous spyglass and used it on a card the opponent had that would exile a card in my graveyard when it attacked. then every time that creature attacked he was able to exile a card from my graveyard. the spyglass did NOTHING.

Spyglass doesn't stop triggers, only activated abilities, and only those that are not mana abilities. Learn the difference.
Activated abilities ALWAYS use the template [cost]:[effect], either on the card itself, ot in the rules for a keyword ability. Look for the colon.
Triggered abilities ALWAYS use the words "when", "whenever", or "at" to specify their trigger condition. If none of those words is used, you are not dealing with a triggered ability. Specifically, the word "if" does not denote a triggered ability, but rather a replacement effect.
Activated abilities cannot be triggered. Triggered abilities are not activated.
