Wizards of the Coast 10 Nov 2020

Although the tokens created by Najeela's first ability are attacking, they were never declared as attacking creatures (for the purposes of abilities that trigger whenever a creature attacks, for example).

Wizards of the Coast 10 Nov 2020

The controller of each Warrior token created by Najeela chooses which player or planeswalker it's attacking. The tokens don't have to be attacking the same player or planeswalker as the creature that caused the ability to trigger. They can even be attacking players or planeswalkers that weren't being attacked.

Wizards of the Coast 10 Nov 2020

There is no main phase before the additional combat phase. This means that, for example, you can't activate an equip ability between combats.

Untapping an attacking creature doesn't remove it from combat.

Color identityEvery color of mana symbol on a card, in its cost and in its rules text. Your commander's color identity sets the limit for your whole deck: every other card has to fit inside it. A deck led by a green and white commander cannot play a card with any blue in its color identity.Open the full glossaryWUBRGPlayers write colors as letters: W for white, U for blue, B for black, R for red, G for green. Blue is U because B was already taken by black.Extra CombatsExtra Combat decks get to attack more than once in a single turn, so their creatures can hit twice or more. They pair with cards that untap creatures, because a creature that attacked is usually tapped and cannot attack again until it untaps.Open the Extra Combats pageExtra CombatGives you an extra combat, a second chance to attack in the same turn. Most, like Aggravated Assault and Aurelia, the Warleader, also untap your creatures so they can attack again, and cards that make a creature hard to block, like Whispersilk Cloak, make each attack count.Open the Extra Combat pageExtra PhaseAdds an extra phase to your turn: usually another combat, though sometimes an additional main phase to cast more spells.
