Interaction between Indulge / Excess and Aggravated Assault
Asked by CamraMaan 11 months ago
I'm assuming that Citizen creature tokens created by Indulge / Excess can only be attackers during their first attack phase, and using Aggravated Assault to untap them and attack again won't work? I assume they would be haste. But with each combat my other attacking creatures will create a new horde of attacking Citizens, and treasures, so it could be worse. (BTW, I think Indulge / Excess is an underrated card.) Thanks in advance!
Ahhh, so Excess counts the number of creatures that deal damage, not how many times they do it... makes sense, but I didn't catch it before! And the other part was basically what I expected. Much appreciated!

Would it matter if a creature does damage to multiple players over multiple attacks? Would I generate a treasure for each player it damaged, or is it basically that damaging "one or more players" only creates one treasure?

When Excess resolves, it essentially checks each creature you controlled, and asks "Did this creature deal combat damage to a player this turn? If yes, create a Treasure."
It doesn't care how many players were dealt damage, just whether or not it did the damage.

When you attack, you will create some number of citizens that are also attacking. They are creating attacking so they will not trigger Indulge again.
However! The citizen tokens created by Indulge do have summoning sickness and thus cannot be declared as attackers (this turn) unless you have a way to give them haste.
Excess will not give a treasure for each time a creature connected, but rather only counts if it dealt damage or not. So even if your citizen deals damage 2-3 times, you still only get 1 treasure.
