Instant, 1U (2) Target creature loses all abilities and becomes 0/1 until end of turn. "You wish for me to cow your enemies? I can do better than that . . . ." —Teferi, second-level student

This does not counter any abilities of the creature that have already been triggered or played. [Planar Chaos FAQ 2006/12/13]
If the creature gains an ability after this resolves, it will keep the ability. [Planar Chaos FAQ 2006/12/13]
A face-down creature affected by this cannot be turned face up for its Morph cost. If it gets turned face up somehow, any "when/as this creature turns face up" abilities won't work, and it will be a 0/1 creature with no abilities until end of turn. [Planar Chaos FAQ 2006/12/13]
If played in response to the Vanishing upkeep trigger when there is one time counter left, it will remove the Vanishing ability so that when the last counter is removed it will not be sacrificed. When this wears off and it gets back the Vanishing ability it will have no time counters so nothing will happen and the creature stays in play. [Planar Chaos FAQ 2006/12/13]
If this is played on a Mistform Ultimus, it will lose the ability to have all creature types, but it will still be all creature types. The way continuous effects work, its type-changing ability is applied before this effect removes it. [Planar Chaos FAQ 2006/12/13]
