Toph, the first metalbender + Honest Work Bug during Arena Direct
I played an Arena direct event today where I cast Honest Work on my opponent’s Toph, first Metalbender, which had it lose all abilities, however, my opponent cast Barrels of Blasting Jelly, which entered as a land. When my opponent earthbended the Blasting Jelly and it died, it also returned to the battlefield because it was a land. This created a poor experience a difficult match which should not have been the case. I have also attached a screenshot of the blasting jelly as a land.

Not a bug. Due to how layers of continuous effects work, type changing always happens before losing abilities. You cannot shut down type changes with ability losing effects. Toph is just another example in a long list of cards, that includes, Ashaya, Kudo, Kaito, Ygra, and more.
