• I reap with Nexus (CoTA 305), and use my opponent’s Spectral Tunneler (CoTA 133) to give Nexus the ability “After Reap: Draw a card.” Will that "After Reap:" ability resolve??
  Yes. You are still in the timing window to resolve any “After Reap:” abilities after Nexus has reaped, so the “After Reap:” ability gained from Spectral Tunneller will resolve.

• I reap with Nexus (CoTA 305), which allows me to use an opponent’s artifact “as if it were” mine. I choose to use my opponent’s Shard of Greed (AoA 315), which lets me gain 1 “for each friendly Shard.” Shard of Greed is the only Shard in play. How much Æmber do I gain?
  1 . You are using Shard of Greed as if it were yours, so Shard of Greed counts itself as a friendly Shard for the purposes of its ability.

  Note from the Arcanists: The FAQ entry here is specifically answering how many Æmber are gained by the resolution of Shard of Greed's Action: ability, it does not include the Æmber that was gained by reaping with Nexus.
