So many great creatures are now useless because of it. I don't mean to sound mean (unintentional pun), but that's the first Oktagon set. Perhaps it sounds like a cool quirk (hey, let's implement an "on attack" trigger), or in some situations it actually makes perfect sense (especially if it should not trigger if the creature is unsable to attack), but when affecting other attacking creatures this effect should be written as one of the following:- Whenever a creature you control attacks, ....- At the beginning of your combat step...This is one of the biggest differences between MTGPQ and MTG, namely that creatures don't all attack at the same time. Therefore translations should be adjusted accordingly.Most often creatures are not able to attack because they are disabled anyway, and in that case their triggered abilities don't trigger anyway.
