"Whenever you attack,"; only one trigger per combat?
Asked by DianTherra 2 years ago
There's the example of "Mr. Orfeo, the Boulder". How am I supposed to read it? "Whenever you attack, double target creature's power until end of turn".
You attack once with your creatures (usually) per combat, right?
I'm asking because it reads the same as a lot of other cards. Also, would Orfeo's trigger trigger "Isshin, Two Heavens as One"?
Hope it's okay to put two questions into one post! And thanks!

You can use double square brackets around a card's name to create a reference link to help make sure everyone understands what's going on in your question: Mr. Orfeo, the Boulder, Isshin, Two Heavens as One
"Whenever you attack" means "when you declare one or more attackers during the 'declare attackers' step of combat". So yes, under normal circumstances Mr. Orfeo's ability will only trigger once per combat. And yes, Isshin will make Mr. Orfeo trigger again, since the ability is being triggered by creatures attacking. You will be able to choose a different target for the extra trigger if you want.
