When attacking with 6c green Yasuo's ability before showdown, if the opponent reacts with Shen, does Yasuo's ability target the original enemy or does Shen become the new target?

Answer
Ruling: Yasuo's ability targets the original enemy unit and cannot be changed once on the chain. Shen's Tank ability does not affect Yasuo's "When I attack" effect because it is not combat damage, but Shen will require damage assignment during the Combat Damage Step.
Sequence:
- Yasuo moves to an enemy-controlled battlefield and a Showdown starts
- Yasuo's "When I attack" effect triggers and goes on the chain, targeting the enemy unit at the battlefield
- The opponent reacts by flipping Shen
- Yasuo's effect resolves with the original target (targets cannot change once on the chain)
- The original target dies to Yasuo's effect
- Both players pass, Showdown ends, Combat Damage Step starts
- Yasuo deals 6 combat damage, some must be assigned to Shen due to Tank (Shen also deals damage to Yasuo)
Nuances:
- Yasuo's "When I attack" effect is not considered combat damage, so Tank does not redirect it
- Tank only applies during the Combat Damage Step
