• 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.

• My opponent played Shadow of Dis (AOA 103) on their last turn. I have a Bad Penny (COTA 296) that has been upgraded with Duskrunner (COTA 316). If I reap with Bad Penny, do I get to use the additional “After Reap:” ability provided by Duskrunner?
  If an upgrade causes a creature to gain text such as an ability, traits, or keywords; that text is considered to be in the text box of the attached creature. The “After Reap:” ability granted by Duskrunner would also be “blanked” by Shadow of Dis and therefore will not resolve.

• My opponent plays Shadow of Dis (AoA 103), forcing me to treat my creatures’ text boxes as if they were blank until their next turn. I play Silvertooth (CoTA 311). Does Silvertooth enter play ready?
  Yes. Shadow of Dis only affects creatures while they are in play. Silvertooth’s ability modifies how it enters play, so it is in effect before the Shadow of Dis effect applies to it.

Commentary

This card's ability blanks the text box of affected cards once they are in play. If a lasting effect was created prior to Shadow of Dis's ability being resolved, the lasting effect remains active for the duration specified by the effect, even though the text box creating the effect may be blank.

If an affected card with a Play: ability that establishes a lasting effect is played after Shadow of Dis, then the Play: ability does not resolve, and no lasting effect is created.
