The Foundry, Axiom Bastion

Question : Did the wording of this card change?

Answer : The first printing of The Foundry, Axiom Bastion said "{T} : Activate the {r} triggers of the next Character you play from your hand this turn." Future pintings will say: "{T} : The next Character you play from your hand this turn activates its {r} abilities (as if it had been played from Reserve)."

Question : How does the Foundry, Axiom Bastion interacts with an effect that prevents the activation of abilities, such as the Council?

Answer : In general, if an effect tells you to do something and another tells you that you cannot, the negative effect wins. The Foundry has no effect on Characters played in front of the Council.
