Party Crasher

Creature — Goblin Berserker

Haste You can attack with Party Crasher once each combat during each opponent's turn.

A mechanic like this would be perfectly fine for an Unset - Party Crasher exists, after all.

Outside of an Unset, there are a whole bunch of rules you would be trampling on.

The real problem comes from all the combat rules assuming the active player is the attacking player. Because of this, they use “Active Player” to refer to the attacking player. For example:

  • 510.1. First, the active player announces how each attacking creature assigns its combat damage, then the defending player announces how each blocking creature assigns its combat damage. This turn-based action doesn’t use the stack. A player assigns a creature’s combat damage according to the following rules:

Note that the combat rules state the active player gets to assign damage. From a pure rules stance, that means the person “Aggressive Test Warrior” is attacking would be the player who gets to assign ATW’s damage. There are a whole host of problems with that... and a whole host of other rules where the “active player” language is going to cause similar issues.

Also, as a general rule of thumb, when your reminder text has 71% more words than Banding’s reminder text, you have designed something that can’t be keyworded.

At first I thought this was a card from the newest commander set. It took me a while.

The text can be cleared up:

All creatures gain vigilance and haste.
Each player must attack each opponent with exactly 1 creature if able.
Each player must assign exactly 1 blocker if able.

Party Crasher really messes this card up though.

No, you cannot be attacking outside of your own combat phase ( Party Crasher notwithstanding). If you Homeward Path tahngarth will be considered out of combat.

A creature is removed from combat if:
it leaves play
it regenerates
its controller changes
it stops being a creature
an effect removes it from combat

When a creature is removed from combat, it stops being an attacking, blocking, blocked, and/or unblocked creature.

I wouldn't call him useless, by attacking on your opponent's turn, they won't be able to block with anything that they're attacking with. In multiplayer FFA games in particular, it's available to block all the way up until the point at which you do choose to attack the active player.

The card doesn't exactly specify, but I assume that in a situation where multiple players are attacking during one player's turn, you declare attackers in APNAP order, so your opponent has to declare attackers before you declare Party Crasher as attacking or not.

Does Party Crasher need to tap to attack on other players turns? I am pretty sure that it does but if it does then it seems useless.
