Can someone walk me through why Blood Moon doesn't turn off Urza's Saga in this example? I mean, the whole point of Blood Moon is to counter shenanigans like this. I understand it has to do with layer timing, and I've heard very similar things about how Harmony doesn't actually stop creature abilities once you understand layers. But I'm missing the pieces to put this together in my head.
@ptc075 @MysticKetchup A short (because I don't have the time for the full answer now) reason: Blood Moon is 'lose all abilities' not 'lose all abilities and cannot gain any abilities' (Think the cycle of enchantment creatures that do that for a single keyword and give your creatures that keyword)
