Silent arbiter and Najeela.

Asked by Wbg1415 2 years ago

Let's say player 1 has Silent Arbiter and player 2 has Najeela, the Blade-Blossom on the battlefield. Whenever 1 warrior attacks and Najeela's ability triggers does the other warrior also get to attack or only the 1 original warrior get to attack?

The 1/1 white Warrior creature token still attacks because it was never declared as an attacker.

Here is the relevant rule: 508.4. If a creature is put onto the battlefield attacking, its controller chooses which defending player or which planeswalker a defending player controls it’s attacking as it enters the battlefield (unless the effect that put it onto the battlefield specifies what it’s attacking). Similarly, if an effect states that a creature is attacking, its controller chooses which defending player or which planeswalker a defending player controls it’s attacking it becomes attacking (unless the effect has alreadyw specified). Such creatures are “attacking” but, for the purposes of trigger events and effects, they never “attacked.”
