Can you react to 'when I attack' abilities, and what is the timing/sequence for when I attack and when I defend triggers?
Ruling: Yes, you can react to 'when I attack' abilities using reactions. These abilities create a chain.
Sequence:
- When I attack triggers are declared first (so they resolve last in the chain)
- When I defend triggers are declared last (so they resolve first in the chain)
- Then players can add reactions to the chain
Nuances:
- Only effects that use "when" or "at" are triggers that can be reacted to
- Passive effects that use "while" (like Assault) are not triggers and cannot be reacted to
