Neotrup on Dress Down interaction

Glinting Creeper will enter as a 0/0 as Dress Down does remove it's ability. Even though we're looking at it entering the battlefield, so it's not quite a creature yet, in order to determine what replacement effects apply, we look at how it would exist on the battlefield. As it will exist as a creature, it won't have an ability so we can't apply it's replacement effect.

614.12. Some replacement effects modify how a permanent enters the battlefield. (See rules 614.1c–d.) Such effects may come from the permanent itself if they affect only that permanent (as opposed to a general subset of permanents that includes it). They may also come from other sources. To determine which replacement effects apply and how they apply, check the characteristics of the permanent as it would exist on the battlefield, taking into account replacement effects that have already modified how it enters the battlefield (see rule 616.1), continuous effects from the permanent's own static abilities that would apply to it once it’s on the battlefield, and continuous effects that already exist and would apply to the permanent.

Glinting Creeper's ability happens as it enters the battlefield. Before it resolves, it's not a creature (it's a creature spell) so Dress Down won't apply yet. When it's in play, Dress Down will make it lose all abilities, but the +1/+1 counters will already be on it. It will be a 0/0 with no abilities and ten +1/+1 counters making it a 10/10.

Hi,

If I cast Glinting Creeper for its converge cost of 5 different mana colours and my opponent casts Dress Down in response - does my creature enter the battlefield as a 0/0? Or a 10/10?

Thanks.
