Title: Level Up Question

Ok, I just finished playing a guy online who was playing with Level Up creatures.
These are the two cards in question:



I had the Damping Matrix in play, and he tried to Level Up.  He insisted that because it states "Level up only as a sorcery." , that he is playing a sorcery to do this.  I argued that it is not a sorcery, that he is not playing a spell, but using an activated ability which can only be used during your own turn........as a sorcery would be. Because he continued to insist upon it, I allowed him to do it simply to continue the game.

Anyone know the rulings on this? Who was right?

You were right. When it says "level-up only as a sorcery", it only means that you can level-up only when you could play a sorcery.

Yep.  The sorcery part of that is a timing statement, it only affects when you can use the ability, not what the ability is.

If he was right, then that new Angel that stops activated abilities would be worth nothing.

Well, it's still worth something... there are many activated abilities...
