• My opponent has Autocannon (COTA 019) in play and I play Duskwitch (AOA 320). Can I resolve the effects in such a way that Duskwitch’s Omega keyword does not resolve??
  No. Omega’s lasting effect is established as Duskwitch enters play, meaning the active player cannot play, use, or discard any more cards for the remainder of the step except through the resolution of pending abilities and effects.

  The resolution of Autocannon’s ability in the “after a card is played” window will result in Duskwitch being destroyed, but the lasting effect from Omega is already established and the step will still end once pending abilities and effects complete their resolution.

• My opponent has Duskwitch (AOA 320) in their battleline. I play Cyber-Clone (MM 102), and purge the Duskwitch. Does the Omega keyword from Duskwitch resolve ending my Step 3?
  No. Cyber-Clone’s ability causes Cyber-Clone to gain the Omega keyword after Cyber-Clone has entered play, so the Omega keyword will not resolve.

• I have Duskwitch (AOA 320) in my battleline. I play Scowly Caper (AOA 313) into my opponent’s battleline. Does Scowly Caper enter play ready?
  Yes. Scowly Caper is your creature, and therefore it will enter play ready, under your opponent’s control.

• My opponent plays Shadow of Dis (AOA 103). I have Duskwitch (AOA 320) in my hand. May I play Duskwitch, then play other cards afterwards?
  No. Omega’s lasting effect is established as Duskwitch enters play, meaning the active player cannot play, use, or discard any more cards for the remainder of the step except through the resolution of pending abilities and effects. Even though Duskwitch’s text box is blank once it is in play, the effect from Omega has already been created.
