If, during your declare attackers step, one of these creatures is tapped or is affected by a spell or ability that says it can’t attack, then it doesn’t attack. If there’s a cost associated with having that creature attack, you aren’t forced to pay that cost, so it doesn’t have to attack in that case either.

If there are multiple combat phases in a turn, each of these creatures must attack its owner in each of them that it’s able to.

If one of these creatures can’t attack its owner during any given turn (due to a spell or ability such as Chronomantic Escape, or because a player on the opposing team has gained control of it, for example), it may attack another player, attack a planeswalker an opponent controls, or not attack at all. If there’s a cost associated with having that creature attack its owner, you aren’t forced to pay that cost, so it may attack another player, attack a planeswalker an opponent controls, or not attack at all.

Price History
To study a single card is to glimpse the heart of a spell - a frozen moment of ambition, artistry, and arcane intent. Within each glyph lies a spark: a story untold, a duel turned, a destiny altered. Treat it not as mere parchment, dear seeker, but as a shard of the Multiverse itself.
