Bello, Bard of the Brambles + Imprisoned in the Moon
Overview
If Imprisoned in the Moon is cast targeting an artifact or enchantment that is a creature only because of Bello, Bard of the Brambles’ effect, Imprisoned can legally target it (because it’s a creature at that moment) and, when it becomes attached, Imprisoned’s continuous effect makes the enchanted permanent a colorless land and causes it to lose all other card types and abilities; that removes the artifact/enchantment types and the creature/abilities granted by Bello so Bello no longer affects it. See , , , and .
Step 1
Bello’s static ability is producing continuous effects that make qualifying non-Equipment artifacts and non-Aura enchantments into creatures during your turn, so before Imprisoned is cast the target permanent is an object that is both an artifact or enchantment and (due to Bello) also a creature.
Step 2
Imprisoned in the Moon is cast targeting that permanent; the target is legal because Imprisoned can enchant a creature and the permanent currently is a creature under Bello’s effect, in accordance with .
Step 3
When Imprisoned resolves and becomes attached, its static effect immediately applies: 'Enchanted permanent is a colorless land with "
: Add 
" and loses all other card types and abilities.'
: Add " and loses all other card types and abilities.'Step 4
Because Imprisoned’s effect causes the enchanted permanent to lose its artifact and/or enchantment card types and to lose abilities that it had, Bello’s condition no longer applies (the permanent is no longer a non-Equipment artifact or non-Aura enchantment), and thus the creature type and abilities Bello created are removed per .
Step 5
The permanent remains on the battlefield as a land because a permanent that loses all its permanent types still stays on the battlefield .
Step 6
Imprisoned remains attached after applying its effect because it can enchant a land (its enchant ability includes 'land') and therefore is still attached to a legal object under and state-based action checks .
Step 7
As a result, after resolution the permanent is a colorless land with ': Add ', not a creature from Bello, and does not have the indestructible/haste/draw-on-damage abilities Bello had given it earlier.
: Add ', not a creature from Bello, and does not have the indestructible/haste/draw-on-damage abilities Bello had given it earlier.Resolution
When Imprisoned in the Moon enters attached to a permanent that was an artifact or enchantment made a creature by Bello, the Aura’s effect immediately makes the enchanted permanent a colorless land and it loses all other card types and abilities, which removes the artifact/enchantment types and the creature status and abilities Bello granted, so Bello’s effect no longer applies to that permanent; Imprisoned remains attached because it can enchant lands.
