@scottnomana: The tl;dr: Xu-Ifit can remove an ability that HAS been applied (Possessed Aven's activated ability from Threshold, Phyrexian Metamorph's static ability to create a replacement effect), and it can remove an ability that HASN’T been applied (Death's Shadow's static ability, triggered abilities), but it CAN'T remove an ability that hasn't been applied if part of it WAS applied earlier (CR 613.6, Bello, Possessed Aven's +1/+1). Simple, right? #mtg #magicthegathering #edh #commander #MTGeternities

This is why magic judges have some type of english or law degree backround.

Tangentially related, song of the dryads turns off bello’s effect because they both are layer 4 and song would be most recent timestamp ? Is that correct

The reason why I don’t want to play this card is because I don’t want to have to explain all if this to other people. Sounds like such a drag.

CorneiliusParmesan :
Tangentially related but because you brought up Bello; does this layer/“even if the ability is removed” clause mean that killing Bello during combat doesn’t remove the artifacts/enchantments he animated from combat?

so if I use Zu to bring something back and then blink it does regain it's abilities?

DarkRomantic17 :
I'm fairly certain xu's continuous effect starts to apply on layer 4, then on layer 6. so let's say you reanimate a pherexian metamorph, since copying effects are on layer 1, you could choose to have it enter as an artifact and then it wouldn't be a creature anymore and then the rest of the other effects wouldn't happen.

Watching someone in the early access have to suddenly realize that, even though it’s a skeleton, it doesn’t get haste from Corpses of the Lost was funny

This is why we house rule "If it says it's removed, it's gone. No layers. just take an eraser to it." Honestly. makes the game more fun.
