Pithing Needle, Artifact, designed by Pete Venters first released in Jun, 2005 in the set Saviors of Kamigawa and was printed exactly in 17 different ways. It see play in 7 formats: Modern, Vintage, Legacy, Pioneer, Commander, Timeless and Standard. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 0.97.
Pithing Needle is a versatile sideboard card that can be beneficial for decks facing specific threats from activated abilities. It is particularly useful against decks reliant on key activated abilities, such as planeswalkers or combo pieces. While Pithing Needle is a solid option, some decks may prefer Sorcerous Spyglass for its ability to also shut down triggered abilities and provide card advantage. Ultimately, the decision to include Pithing Needle in a deck depends on the specific metagame and the deck's overall strategy.

Activated abilities include a colon and are written in the form “[cost]: [effect].” Triggered abilities and static abilities of the named card work normally.

If you name a card that has both a mana ability and another activated ability, the mana ability can be activated but the other ability can’t be activated.

Pithing Needle affects cards regardless of what zone they’re in. This includes cards in hand, cards in the graveyard, and exiled cards. For example, a player can’t cycle Eternal Dragon or return an Eternal Dragon from their graveyard to hand if Pithing Needle naming Eternal Dragon is on the battlefield.
