Wizards of the Coast 2 Oct 2025

If Amarant Coral can't attack for any reason (such as being tapped or having come under your control that turn), then it doesn't attack. If there's a cost associated with having it attack, you're not forced to pay that cost, so it doesn't have to attack in that case either.

Wizards of the Coast 2 Oct 2025

The damage dealt by Amarant Coral as a result of its last ability is not combat damage and therefore doesn't cause the ability to trigger again.
