Official rulings

  1. If the target creature has power and toughness written as */* with an ability that defines its power and toughness, it’s 0/0 when it loses all abilities. If its power and toughness are written as */*+1, it’s 0/1, and so on. (2018-04-27)
  2. Once you announce that you’re casting a spell or activating an ability, no player may take other actions until the spell or ability has been paid for. Notably, players can’t try to remove a permanent’s activated abilities to stop them from happening. Once activated, the ability on the stack will resolve even if the creature loses the ability. (2018-04-27)
  3. If the target creature has an ability that triggers when it becomes tapped, that ability triggers before it loses all abilities. (2018-04-27)
