My apologies for following-up on this.
The answer here seems to suggest that you can neither maintain nor begin to use a Concentration effect while under a "No Game Abilities" effect. While the logic of "if you had a MEC Storm up, and took a Drain, your MEC Storm goes away" is fairly clear, the response also seems to suggest you cannot activate a magic-item-based Concentration effect after you've taken the Drain effect (but before it's expiration/removal).
Is that accurate? Or maybe you can activate it but immediately lose it after the initial impact (one packet from 'Activate MEC storm', initial bounceback from 'Spellstrike Repel')? I'm not sure what the intent is there.
