Can Aurelia crew Cultivator’s Caravan to attack?

Asked by chosenone124 4 years ago

I have Aurelia, Exemplar of Justice and a Cultivator's Caravan . Can I resolve the Aurelia trigger on itself, crew Caravan, and attack with Caravan?

Yes, abilities like Aurelia, Exemplar of Justice 's trigger and resolve on the beginning of combat step; steps and phases wait to end until all players have passed in succession over an empty stack; and you can activate abilities any time you have priority unless they say otherwise. The steps of the combat phase are:

Beginning of Combat

Declare Attackers

Declare Blockers

Combat Damage

(possibly a second Combat Damage Step if any creatures had first strike or double strike)

End of Combat

Aurelia as I said before triggers and resolves during Beginning of Combat. You then get priority and can activate the crew ability of the Cultivator's Caravan . Attackers are, unsurprisingly, declared during the Declare Attackers Step and the Caravan will be a creature.
