A noncreature permanent that turns into a creature can attack, and its
abilities can be activated, only if its controller has continuously controlled that permanent since the beginning of their most recent turn. It doesn't matter how long the permanent has been a creature. - WotCSep 25, 2006
A face-down creature spell will cause Opal Guardian's ability to trigger (if it's an enchantment).
- WotCSep 25, 2006
After the triggered ability resolves, Opal Guardian is no longer an enchantment.
- WotCSep 25, 2006
Guardian's effect doesn't wear off.
