Dress Down is one of those cards players keep asking about. Here is, in plain words, what its official text says, the rulings published by Wizards of the Coast, and the combos players actually run.
01
Official card text
Flash When this enchantment enters, draw a card. Creatures lose all abilities. At the beginning of the end step, sacrifice this enchantment.
How it works : Dress Down
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
If an effect grants a creature an ability after Dress Down has entered the battlefield, it won't lose that ability. For example, if a land becomes a creature while Dress Down is on the battlefield, it will still gain any abilities given to it by the effect that animated it. It will, however, lose any abilities it already had.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
If an effect causes Dress Down to become a creature, it will lose its own abilities along with all other creatures. This includes the triggered ability that causes it to be sacrificed at the beginning of the end step.
No other card is named in this ruling.
