When a unit with 'When I move' attacks a defender with 'When I attack' and 'When I defend' triggers, what is the correct order for these triggers to resolve?

Answer
Ruling: 'When I move' triggers resolve completely before the showdown begins. Once resolved, the showdown starts with attacker triggers going on the chain first, then defender triggers, creating the initial chain.
Sequence:
- 'When I move' trigger activates and resolves completely before showdown
- Showdown begins and attacker 'When I attack' triggers go on the chain first (targets must be declared)
- Defender 'When I defend' triggers go on the chain next (defender picks order if multiple, targets declared)
- Attacker gets priority to play spells
- If pass, defender gets priority to play spells
- Chain resolves LIFO (last in, first out)
- After initial chain resolves, attacker gets focus and priority
Nuances:
- Each item on the chain can be reacted to before resolving
- If defender has multiple triggers, they choose the order those triggers go on the chain
