Day of Black Sun - Card didn't work as expected
When playing this card and it says that the creatures lose all abilities, why don't they then lose "all abilities?"
"Each creature with mana value X or less loses all abilities until end of turn. Destroy those creatures."
I played this against an earthbend deck. They had 2 lands, that were also creatures with the ability to return if they died or were exiled. Because it's abilities were" lost "shouldn't killing those creatures negated the ability for them to return? If not, why not?

Earthbended lands do not gain the ability to return when exiled or dying. Rather, that is a delayed trigger set up by the earthbend effect itself and is not an ability of the land and cannot be lost.
