petrify and lawmages binding third effect not working
hi i just want to let you know that none of the spells like petrify, lawmages binding that say activated abilities can't be activated don't work at all it needs to be fixed like right now. I played to many matches using those spells and the enchanted creature is still able to use its ability, and it's not making the game fair at all also I keep having to concede the matches cause that bug is not fixed at all so please fixed the bug

There is a huge difference between activated abilities and triggered abilities.
Activated abilities ALWAYS have the form [cost]:[effect], either in the ability's text itself, or in the rules for a keyword ability (like equip). If it doesn't have that format, it is not an activated ability and won't be stopped by the likes of Petrify.
Triggered abilities ALWAYS use the words "when", "whenever", or "at" to describe their trigger condition. If ithe ability doesn't, it is not a triggered ability. (Pay particularly close attention to the word "if" preceding a condition, that is an indicator for a static ability creating a replacement effect.)
Everything else are static abilities.
