@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.

Question for you. if you have something like Death Baron would the reanimated skeleton only get the deathtouch if I cast the Death Baron after Xu?

I love this game so much. Understanding the stack and layers levels up your play so much that It makes everything so much more fun!

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.

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.

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

Was this card even worth all this nonsense?? Rule changes for 1 card isnt unprecedented but goddamn if it isn’t unintuitive. I can’t wait to play this in arena and constantly be confused about what will and won’t work

You'd think they would get all the ruling issues out of the way when making these news cards

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?

How would this impact something like Consuming Aberration? Would * simply become 0 by default, making it a 0/0 and dying immediately?

do saga creatures lose the abilities that trigger on gaining lore counters?
