Phyrexian Splicer

i am wanting for my creature to gain shadow. Does the first effect have to cause a creature to lose shadow in order for the second to work in my favor?

In order to activate the ability of Phyrexian Splicer you need to choose valid targets. The first target must have the chosen ability. When the ability resolves, if the first creature no longer has the ability or is otherwise an invalid target (such as if it left the battlefield) the second creature will still gain the ability. So no, the first part of the ability doesn't need to actually remove shadow, but it does need to target a creature that has shadow, which most likely will cause it to lose shadow.
