What happens to a creature I cast using its Blitz ability (possibly through Henzie Torre) and it loses its abilities, say through Primordial Plasm? I realise the creature will lose haste and the 'when dies, draw a card' rider, but I'm not too sure about the delayed triggered ability that will make me sacrifice it at end of turn.

When you cast card for its blitz cost, the delayed sacrifice trigger is created at that point and exists independently of the permanent the spell becomes.

This means that removing the abilities of the creature won't stop the delayed trigger and will just deny you the card draw trigger when it dies.

If Warkite Marauder's ability or Sudden Spoiling affect a creature with auras, equipment, and the bonus from Rogue's passage, what added abilities are nullified and what remains?

It all boils down to layers and timestamps.

Any abilities gained after Sudden Spoiling will still be there. Abilities from auras/equipment won’t. Any effects that give a plus or minus to the creature’s P/T will still apply, including counters, as well effects that swap power and toughness. Rogue’s Passage’s effect can’t be removed since it’s not granting an ability.

If Tarmogoyf is the target of Merfolk Trickster's enter the battlefield ability, does goyf become a 0/0 or 0/1. My money is on 0/0, but the toughness stat block makes me wonder.

Tarmogoyf will be 0/1.

When Merfolk Trickster’s trigger resolves, it removes Tarmogoyf’s abilities, including the ability that defines its power and toughness. This means that the asterisks in its P/T box aren’t referencing anything, so we use 0 for their value. This makes Tarmogoyf a 0/(1+0) = 0/1 creature.

Two creatures are blocking my one creature with menace, is there a point between declaring blockers and damage being dealt where I can destroy one blocker, making the remaining blocker illegal due to menace?

No, this doesn’t work.

Once blockers have been declared, removing creatures that are blocking a creature doesn’t make it no longer blocked. Neither does making the creature(s) blocking it no longer able to do so through addition or removal of keywords or other abilities.

For example, giving an attacking creature flying after it has been blocked doesn’t cause creatures without flying or reach that are blocking it to no longer be blocking it.

Once blockers have been declared, the creatures have basically zeroed in on each other and changing some of their abilities doesn’t make them suddenly leave the fight.
