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
