It is still dealt, but it is never flipped, so its shadow effect doesn't resolve; it is discarded at the end of the combat phase (or with the enemy if it dies). If the attack is stopped before the shadow card is revealed, nothing happens to it. Once the card is revealed, canceling the attack doesn't undo it.
