Do 'When I Attack' triggers activate when moving to an uncontrolled battlefield?
deprecated
Answer
Ruling: 'When I Attack' triggers activate when a unit is designated as an attacker, which typically happens when moving to a battlefield controlled by your opponent where a combat showdown starts. They do not trigger when moving to an uncontrolled/unoccupied battlefield.
Nuances:
- The trigger occurs when moving to an occupied battlefield (one with enemy units), not just any controlled battlefield
- In rare cases, a unit can become an attacker even if the opponent doesn't control the battlefield at the moment of attack
- If an enemy unit is removed during combat, units moved there still become attackers and triggers still activate (because the unit was present when combat started)
Does this answer look correct?
