Bello, Bard of the Brambles + Song of the Dryads

Overview

Song of the Dryads is an Aura enchantment, so it is not affected by Bello’s static effect because Bello only turns non-Aura enchantments into creatures. If Song of the Dryads enchants one of your non-Aura enchantments that Bello would make a creature, Song’s continuous effect ("Enchanted permanent is a colorless Forest land") will change that enchanted permanent’s types so it is no longer an enchantment; when that happens Bello’s condition no longer applies and the permanent will stop being a creature. The Aura (Song) itself remains on the battlefield as long as it’s still legally able to enchant the object; an Aura attached to an illegal object is put into its owner’s graveyard as a state-based action .

Step 1

Song of the Dryads is an Aura enchantment (it has the Enchant keyword); Auras target and attach to a legal object or player as defined by their enchant ability .

Step 2

Bello’s static effect only applies to non-Aura enchantments (and to non-Equipment artifacts) you control with mana value 4 or greater, and only during your turn (so Bello does not make Auras into creatures) — Song of the Dryads is therefore excluded from Bello’s effect.

Step 3

If Song of the Dryads is attached to one of your non-Aura enchantments that meets Bello’s criteria, Song’s continuous effect changes the enchanted permanent to be a colorless Forest land (the effect sets the object’s characteristics, i.e. its types and color) .

Step 4

Because Song’s effect changes that permanent so it is no longer an enchantment, it no longer meets Bello’s condition and Bello’s creature-making effect stops applying to it; the permanent ceases to be a creature that Bello created.

Step 5

Song stays attached as long as it is still legally allowed to enchant the object (Song’s enchant ability is “Enchant permanent,” so the object being a land is not illegal for Song). If instead Song’s enchant restriction would no longer be satisfied, the Aura would be put into its owner’s graveyard as a state-based action .

Resolution

Song of the Dryads (an Aura) does not become a creature from Bello’s ability because Bello only affects non-Aura enchantments. If Song enchants one of your non-Aura enchantments that Bello is turning into a creature, Song’s effect will make that enchanted permanent a colorless Forest land and thereby stop it from being an enchantment; Bello’s creature effect will then cease to apply to it. Song remains attached so long as it is still allowed to enchant that object; if it becomes illegal for Song to enchant the object, the Aura is put into its owner’s graveyard as a state-based action .
