Copperhorn Scout + other creatures attacking?
Asked by MonsterFinder221 11 years ago
When Copperhorn Scout attacks, do my other creatures untap at the exact time Copperhorn Scout attacks or after combat damage has been assigned?

@jonhydude: There are more than three steps in the combat phase. There are the beginning of combat, declare attackers, declare blockers, combat damage, and end of combat steps.
When an ability triggers, unless it triggered in the untap step, it is put onto the stack during the same step in which it triggered. Therefore, Copperhorn Scout 's ability will trigger, be stacked, and resolve during the declare attackers step. The untap ability doesn't happen immediately, but it does happen during the same step.

They untap when he attacks (So the three states of combat is Declare Attackers, Declare blocker, Combat damage). Remember it says when he attacks not when he deals combat damage.
