I was rolling my eyes about how Speed is yet another effect that isn't represented by a permanent and can't be interacted with, and then as I read on I discovered it's even more confusing than that. Gaining the first speed level happens instantaneously, but if I'm reading right, gaining levels 2 through 4 is a triggered ability (albeit one with no source, not even an emblem?) and could be Stifled.
Good catch on the trigger with no source ! Having yet another "outside the game" mechanic that requires tracking (like Day/Night, Tempted by the Ring or Dungeons) really turned me off of that set.
This is worse than energy
Me too.
Another intended for Limited awkward overhead/tracking mechanic that probably does nothing in any other format except for That One Card and then the customary EDH deck built round the mechanic.
At least unlike Iniative and Day/Night it doesn't care about what other players do.
