Answer

Ruling: Opponents cannot play cards on whatever turn Brynhir is played. Brynhir has no effect on cards that were played before it.

Sequence:

  • Brynhir must be played and its triggered ability must resolve
  • Once resolved, opponents cannot play any additional cards for the remainder of that turn
  • Cards already played before Brynhir resolves are unaffected

Nuances:

  • Players can react to Brynhir's triggered ability with reaction spells before it resolves
  • In FFA (multiplayer), all other players are opponents and will be prevented from playing cards once Brynhir's triggered effect resolves
  • Recycling and discarding are not being killed and do not trigger Deathknell effects
  • Promising Future interactions with Brynhir are unclear and have conflicting official responses
