Does Dance of the Skywise remove hexproof if used on a Cloudformed card?

Asked by SixthSamurai 9 years ago

Dance of the Skywise removes all abilities, but correct me if I am wrong, Cloudform is externally giving the manifested creature flying and hexproof?

-Thanks in advance

Yay layers :)

The way things like this interact is in the layer system. The layer system describes how continuous effect interact. In layer 6 things that change abilities apply. If there are two effects that would apply in the same layer they are applied in timestamp order. So Cloudform would apply first then Dance of the Skywise applies getting rid of the other abilities. The manifested creature will still be able to be turned face up. Those abilities are characteristics of face down cards not abilities.

TL;DR-You will have a 4/4 flier without any other abilities.

Just curious, (face down cards have never been my strong suit) if you were to flip the manifested card face up, would it still be a 4/4 flier with no abilities until the end of turn? Let's say it was Silumgar, the Drifting Death.

Please ask new questions in new threads.

It would still be 4/4 with no abilities and flying. Flipping a creature up does not change the timestamps. Being face down is state like being tapped so flipping it up does not change the effects.
