Ok, so cheating an attacker into play doesn't satisfy the qualification of 'having attacked' for Boast abilities. Is that a 'just in this case' deal or does it apply to other situations like 'destroy any creature that didn't attack this turn' effects?

Not answering your question, but apropos of this, I love how they used to print the Rulebook directly on cards Lure quote:All creatures able to block target creature must do so. If a creature has the ability to block more than one creature, Lure does not prevent this. If there is more than one attacking creature with Lure, defender may choose which of them each defending creature blocks.

If a creature wasn't declared as an attacker, it doesn't get counted as an attacker for effects that count attacking creatures.

Correct: Ninjas, being masters of stealth do not brag about their exploits. They attacked for the pay, not so they could go to a tavern and activate an ability. The biggest use-case for put into play attacking is that if someone is forcing you to attack something, you can ignore it. And to get out from under cards like Ensnaring Bridge. For example, Gideon Jura has a +2 ability that says all of target opponent's creatures must attack it next turn. If you had a Hero of Bladehold, which put two tokens into play attacking when it attacked, those tokens could still attack the player. For another example, Your opponent has zero cards in hand and an Ensnaring Bridge on the table. You can still attack them with your Aegis Turtle (a 0/5) and then ninjuitsu in Emrakul when they smugly refuse to block your turtle.

So it's easiest to think of 'Attacking' as a status that can only be applied in the Declare Attacker step. If I ninjitsu in a creature I can't target it with Raze the Effigy but my opponent also can't hit it with Rebuke.

That's not quite right, an "attacking" creature as the game sees it, means any creature in the red zone during the combat phase. A creature that "attacked" is one that got declared as an attacker during the declare attackers step.

508.4. If a creature is put onto the battlefield attacking, its controller chooses which defending player or which planeswalker a defending player controls it's attacking as it enters the battlefield (unless the effect that put it onto the battlefield specifies what it's attacking). Similarly, if an effect states that a creature is attacking, its controller chooses which defending player or which planeswalker a defending player controls it's attacking it becomes attacking (unless the effect has already specified). Such creatures are "attacking" but, for the purposes of trigger events and effects, they never "attacked." Rebuke away.

You can target with both rebuke and Raze, ...And you'll transform it if it's a Homicidal Brute

'Attacking,' the adjective, means that a creature is in the red zone. The verb 'attack' means that a creature has changed from a non-attacking creature to an attacking creature. It's the transition that is important to determine if a creature has attacked. You can also think of abilities that trigger on creature attacks as like there is a security camera pointed at exactly the edge of the red zone. It can see creatures that aren't attacking move in, but if a creature is born in the red zone, the camera doesn't see it.

Ok what if your playing a 3 player game and one opponent has blazing archon and I attack the 3rd player with my hero of bladehold. Can I put the tokens in attacking the opponent with the archon?

Played my first competative pioneer since 2020, joined a league on MTGO with Orzhov vampires and got a 2-0 win over I think Naya Winota? I didn't see her until game 2 and it didn't seem to get many hits from non-humans attacking, maybe just Brutal Cathars. Did go to my last minute of time without a game 3 though, so that's a worry. I needed to cast Champion of Dusk to draw into a Sorin, Imperious Bloodlord so I could then attack wide enough to get a point in, then cast him to Bitening Helix for the win. Don't really know where the time all goes.

joke would work better if they emphasized the "nerf" aspect by making it sound like a nerf gun rather than a real gun. also yeah if they released it around the time alchemy was introduced... but i guess animation takes time so what're you gonna do ----- tomorrow (monday) is maro's list of clues... then tuesday is the ban list announcement and thursday is the start of spoiler season

Like Ragavan the concession is "play red" The concession on GGT is "your entire deck must function in the GY" Like I think we'd agree that Mycosynth Lattice isn't a good card even though it instantly ends a game when it resolves.
