\nDress Down<\/a>! Folks us judges finally have a modern framed card that causes as much headache as an old favorite of all creatures losing ability but being easier as there is no 7b to worry about like Humility<\/a>
Scenarios<\/strong> If Dress Down<\/a> is in play before Grief<\/a> or any of its fellow MH2 elemental incarnates ETBs, its ETB trigger will not trigger. Ditto if Grief is evoked and Dress Down is in play before Grief resolves, its controller do not need to sacrifice Grief<\/a> to its evoke trigger.

\nTo tackle this question we go straight to the Oracle Text of Dress Down<\/a>.
\nFlash
\nWhen Dress Down<\/a> enters the battlefield, draw a card.
\nCreatures lose all abilities.
\nAt the beginning of the end step, sacrifice Dress Down<\/a>.
\nWow so much abilities with four in total! The key here is the triggered ability at the end step and the static ability that causes creatures to lose all abilities. Note that the static ability operates in layer 6 as this knowledge is critical in answering the bulk of the scenarios we face.<\/p>\n
\nPitch to Grief<\/a> You<\/strong>
\n<\/p><\/p>\n
\nSometimes the player lets Grief<\/a> resolve before casting Dress Down<\/a>, that way both ETBs are already on the stack so the discard and evoke sacrifice still happens.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>
\nMy personal favourite, Dress Down<\/a> will make the Shadow 13\/13. Tarmogoyf<\/a> is a 0\/1 and Scourge of the Skyclaves<\/a> dies as a 0\/0.
\n<\/p>
<\/p><\/p>\n
\n<\/p>
\nMagus of the Moon<\/a> operates on Layer 4 while Dress Down<\/a> losing abilities operates on Layer 6. We apply layers from 1 to 7 in order so the Magus still Moons the nonbasic lands despite being Dressed Down.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>
\nSimilar to Magus of the Moon<\/a>, Dryad\u2019s ability affecting lands to be every basic land type applies on Layer 4 which is applied first before Dress Down<\/a> removes it in Layer 6. Hence all lands you control are of all basic land type. However the ability to play an additional land each turn is removed.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>
\nThe Karnstruct tokens will lose their ability with Dress Down<\/a> in play rendering them 0\/0s and be placed in the graveyard after state based actions are checked.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>
\nWhen Dress Down<\/a> is in play all the face down creature cards are generic 2\/2s with no abilities. You cannot turn the creatures face up via its Morph\/Megamorph nor Disguise cost as the creatures do not have those abilities.
\nYou can turn the face down creature cards up even with Dress Down in play if it was Manifested or Cloaked as Dress Down does not remove the mana costs of the creature. The rules of Manifest and Cloak does not let you turn up Manifested or Cloaked non-creature cards.
\nNote that turning face up is a special action which players cannot respond to as it does not utilise the stack.
\nHowever if the card hiding below is a non-creature with Morph, Dress Down does not affect them when you want to turn them face up.
\nNyx and Its Denizens<\/strong>
\n<\/p>
\nWithout sufficient devotion, the Gods remain as they are. The devotion type changing effect applies on Layer 4. If you have or gain sufficient devotion, the God is just a Legendary Enchantment Creature \u2013 God with its printed power and toughness with Dress Down<\/a> in play. If you lose devotion during the turn it was a creature with Dress Down<\/a> in play, it regains its abilities because you apply Layer 4 before Layer 6.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>
\nOne does not skip Opalescence when it comes to such effects. However, compared to Humility it is easier. Opalescence operates on Layer 4 while losing abilities is in layer 6. Dress Down<\/a> also loses its trigger to self-sacrifice at the end step.
\nIf Opalescence<\/a> is in play before Dress Down<\/a>, you will not be able to draw a card.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>
\nIf Dress Down<\/a> is in play 1st, then no abilities on the Phyrexian Preators. Similarly if either Sheoldred or Elesh Norn is in play and you cast Dress Down<\/a>, both Preators will have no effect.
\nSheoldred will not be triggered to cause you to lose 2 life from your Dress Down<\/a> card draw. Elesh Norn will not stop Dress Down from triggering the card draw. Ditto if you are the controller of both the respective Preator and Dress Down.
\n<\/p><\/p>\n
\n<\/p>
\nIf Dress Down<\/a> is in play before Uro or Phyrexian Dreadnought resolves, none of the triggers happen.
\n<\/p>
\nIf Dress Down<\/a> is only in play after either resolves, the trigger abilities are still on the stack and trigger as per normal.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>
\nIf you Blitz or Dash a creature, with Dress Down in play regardless of order, the creature will lose all its abilities including the haste granted by Blitz or Dash.
\n<\/p>
\nThe delayed trigger of sacrificing to Blitz or returning to hand of Dash still triggers regardless. This is because Blitz and Dash have cast triggers and not ETB which is why Dress Down does not affect either.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>
\nIf Dress Down<\/a> in play when the manland is a creature, it will lose all its printed abilities such as the ability to tap for mana and its ability to activate the manland ability.
\n<\/p>
\nIf Dress Down<\/a> in play when the manland is still a land then the manland ability is activated, the ability will grant the manland all the associated abilities due to timestamp order. In Inkmoth\u2019s case a 1\/1 Phyrexian Blinkmoth Artifact Creature with Infect and Flying. It will still lose all its printed abilities including the ability to tap for mana and its ability to activate the manland ability once it is a creature.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>
\nDress Down<\/a> does not affect Unlicensed Hearse as it is an artifact.
\nHowever once Unlicensed Hearse<\/a> is crewed when Dress Down<\/a> is in play, it is placed into the graveyard as part of state-based actions are checked as it is a 0\/0.<\/p>\n
\nTo determine which replacement effects apply and how they apply, check the characteristics of the permanent as it would exist on the battlefield, taking into account replacement effects that have already modified how it enters the battlefield.
\nI have snipped the relevant portion of CR 614.12 which explains the situation for the next subset of interactions below with Dress Down<\/a>.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>
<\/p><\/p>\n
\n<\/p>
\n<\/p>
\nA common play is for players to cast Thing in the Ice with a Dress Down<\/a> in play for it to ETB with no counters. The Kraken will be unleashed! You still need to cast the instant or sorcery to trigger transform.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>
\nIf Dress Down<\/a> is in play before any of these creatures resolve, you do not get to name a card nor color.
\n<\/p><\/p>\n
\n<\/p><\/p>\n
\n<\/p>
\nExisting Modular creatures also will not trigger their Modular ability when they die if Dress Down<\/a> in play. This is the same for similar effects like Undying.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p><\/p>\n
\nHowever if Painter\u2019s Servant<\/a> has already selected a color say Red, then Dress Down<\/a> is cast. What happens? So back to Layers, Painter\u2019s Servant<\/a>\u2019s effect applies in Layer 5. So we apply in order, where everything is painted Red then Painter\u2019s Servant loses all its ability due to Dress Down.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>
\nIf Dress Down<\/a> is in play while Clone is on the stack, CR 614.12 will apply. Clone<\/a> will not have its replacement effect and ETB as a 0\/0 which will be placed into graveyard as state-based actions are checked.
\nClone<\/a> also does not get to copy anything.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p><\/p>\n
\n<\/p><\/p>\n
\nEmrakul on the stack continues to have its can\u2019t be countered clause.
\nEmrakul\u2019s cast trigger for Time Walk still triggers.
\nEmrakul in play loses Flying, Annihilator 6 and protection from coloured spells.
\nEmrakul\u2019s put into graveyard from anywhere shuffle effect still triggers.<\/p>\n<\/span><\/span>, Monsuporn Lauhaphand<\/strong><\/a>
