Arcum's Whistle
Artifact
{3}, {T}: Choose target non-Wall creature the active player has controlled continuously since the beginning of the turn. That player may pay {X}, where X is that mana value. If they don't pay, the creature attacks this turn if able, and at the beginning of the next end step, destroy it if it didn't attack this turn. Activate only before attackers are declared.

Arcum's Whistle only cares if the creature was declared as an attacker. If you remove a creature from combat, it was still declared as an attacker.

So if I target a creature with Arcum's Whistle then the creature attacks. If i response Labyrinth of Skophos does that creature get destroyed by arcum's Whistle effect?

Sorry I did not list these all together. I also found this for another single creature ability. Unfortunately, your opponent can pay mana to stop it but I thought I would share it for completeness: Arcum's Whistle

Defile - You're running a 3 color deck, where the majority of your lands are likely to be non-basics. This won't do anything reliably.
Divine Verdict - Very expensive for the effect, could just be an outright kill spell. There are cards that force your opponent to sacrifice attacking creatures that would get around indestructible and hexproof/shroud if you wanted that sort of effect. Ex. Blessed Alliance
Ray of Revelation - Flashback for this is Green homie, counts as both white and green so you can't run it in a Mardu deck.
Shatter - Just make this something like Shattering Spree and give yourself the chance to hit more than one thing. Or something like Crush Contraband to get more than one target exiled instead of destroyed.
Vendetta - Why not have this just be something like Doom Blade? 1 cmc more and you're not going to get punished for using it on a large creature.
Victim of Night - already going to be difficult at times to use due to the 2 hard black in the cost. Why not have it be something like Hero's Downfall and get unrestricted creature removal and planeswalker removal as a bonus? Murderous Rider serves a similar function and doubles as a creature. Vampires and Zombies are popular, so there will be times where it won't work for you.
Arcum's Whistle - It's a rather expensive effect to force a creature to attack, but it is repeatable. You don't get a choice for where the creature goes, so I'm not sure if that was your intent.
Scarab of the Unseen - Are you going to be running a lot of enchantment auras to put on your creatures? If not it seems like this is only there to draw a card. You should be running something like Sign in Blood or Night's Whisper for more value at the same cost.
Enters the Battlefield Tapped Lands - The nature of these lands is for a budget deck. If you have access to lands like the ones I threw in the maybeboard, you're increasing your chance of playing things on curve as well as reducing the likelihood of having to wait to play the threats/answers in your hand. Even if the condition for them to enter untapped is conditional like with something like Dragonskull Summit, shocklands and basics will make it possible to have access to more colors sooner, which can make a world of difference in the early game. The temples at least offer a benefit with the scry, so that's going to help you draw into what you want/need (ex. bottoming a land you don't need or a spell you don't want/can't cast).

The wording we were looking for is "didn't attack." Some suggestions:
Angel's Trumpet , Arcum's Whistle , Oracle en-Vec , Siren's Call .

Yikes. That's quite a wall of discombobulated text. At your core, you're asking for cards that avoid Protection, so I will focus on that.
-
Council's Judgment is a Legacy staple because it can hit True-Name Nemesis . You can use it in commander, but its effectiveness depends on table politics and assorted players agreeing on what the worst threat is.
-
Any Wrath effect will bypass protection , including the the cards linked with every word in this sentence .
-
Edicts (cards that force an opponent to sacrifice a creature) generally do not target. For example, Crackling Doom .
-
Anything where you "name a card" or "choose a permanent" do not target. For example, Arcum's Whistle or Runed Halo .
Correct me if I am wrong, but I presume this is for an EDH deck you are working on? If so, then Commander Help would be the correct board.
If not, there is a section creatively named "General" for general Magic discussion. I can move the thread if you believe that would be more appropriate.
