If the player controls no creatures, Etrata's ability doesn't resolve. Etrata remains on the battlefield and its owner doesn't shuffle their library. The same is true if the target creature is an illegal target when Etrata's ability tries to resolve. - 2018-10-05 · Wizards of the Coast
If Etrata's ability exiles a token creature, it won't count to determine whether three cards are exiled with hit counters. - 2018-10-05 · Wizards of the Coast
If Etrata leaves the battlefield while its triggered ability is on the stack, it remains in its new zone and Etrata's owner shuffles their library. - 2018-10-05 · Wizards of the Coast
Etrata's owner shuffles it into their library as the triggered ability resolves, regardless of how many cards are in exile or whether the player loses the game. - 2018-10-05 · Wizards of the Coast
In a Commander game, if Etrata is your commander, you may put it into the command zone as its ability resolves. You'll still shuffle your library.
