Faiths Fetters
This card clearly states that it loses all abilities except for mana abilities, it was put on my Plagon Lord of the Beach. Yet I could not use his mana abilities. So how does this work, do other players get to cheat with their cards. Now the Name Alex Nardi sounds familiar I think I saw somewhere that he uses cheat cards that don't match the text. If this is the case he should be banned. But foremost is you need to fix my card to work.

Mana abilities are abilities that PRODUCE mana.
Plagon's ability is a normal activated ability, and is shut down by Faith's Fetters. So, no cheat, just a fundamental misunderstanding of an important MAGIC term on your part.
Also, no abilities are lost to Faith's Fetters. The card merely makes it impossible to use activated abilities.

605.1. Some activated abilities and some triggered abilities are mana abilities, which are subject to
special rules. Only abilities that meet either of the following two sets of criteria are mana abilities,
regardless of what other effects they may generate or what timing restrictions (such as “Activate
only as an instant”) they may have.605.1a An activated ability is a mana ability if it meets all of the following criteria: it doesn’t
require a target (see rule 115.6), it could add mana to a player’s mana pool when it resolves, and
it’s not a loyalty ability. (See rule 606, “Loyalty Abilities.”)605.1b A triggered ability is a mana ability if it meets all of the following criteria: it doesn’t require
a target (see rule 115.6), it triggers from the activation or resolution of an activated mana ability
(see rule 605.1a) or from mana being added to a player’s mana pool, and it could add mana to a
player’s mana pool when it resolves.
