Tenuous Truce + Tapped & Attacking Tokens
Asked by Last_Laugh 1 year ago
Tenuous Truce + something like Adeline, Resplendent Cathar/Battle Angels of Tyr. Will a tapped and attacking token break the truce? I'm guessing not, sorta like those tokens get around Ghostly Prison effects since it skipped being declared as an attacker.

Thanks buddy. I figured that's how it'd work but just wanted to make sure.

The tokens created by Myriad or Adeline ETB tapped and attacking, and shouldn't break truce since they were never declared as attackers.
508.3a. An ability that reads "Whenever [a creature] attacks, . . ." triggers if that creature is declared as an attacker. Similarly, "Whenever [a creature] attacks [a player or planeswalker], . . ." triggers if that creature is declared as an attacker attacking that player or planeswalker. Such abilities won't trigger if a creature is put onto the battlefield attacking.
508.3b. An ability that reads "Whenever [a player or planeswalker] is attacked, . . ." triggers if one or more creatures are declared as attackers attacking that player or planeswalker. It won't trigger if a creature is put onto the battlefield attacking that player or planeswalker.
