And it probably never will, but let me explain how it works:  Lethal Formation has an ability which lets you cast cards within its soul. This is Continuous. The cards themselves have no abilities, they have effects. This is completely different, and the reason we all mistook them to have abilities is their cast conditions are very specific. But nevertheless, they are simply casting conditions with effects. Abilities happen on the field. Effects... don't, necessarily. These effects occur on the stack, the chain, whatever you feel like calling it. It's not on the field, that's why it's not an ability.
