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.

Activated abilities contain a colon. They're generally written "[Cost]: [Effect]." Some keywords are activated abilities and will have colons in their reminder text. An activated mana ability is one that produces mana as it resolves, not one that costs mana to activate.

Some cards can have alternative names, such as split cards, adventurer cards, double-faced cards, and so on. You may choose one of the two names the card can have; Disruptor Flute's abilities won't affect anything with the other name. For example, if you choose Ondu Knotmaster, Throw a Line will still cost only to cast.
