Answer

Ruling: The Attacker is the player whose unit(s) applied the Contested status to the Battlefield, regardless of who controlled the effect that caused the move.

Nuances:

  • Even if you use Charm to force your opponent's unit to move to your battlefield, your opponent becomes the Attacker because their unit applied Contested
  • This affects how abilities like Assault and Shield function in the Combat
