When Blitzcrank pulls an opponent's unit to my battlefield, who is the attacker and who is the defender?
Ruling: When Blitzcrank pulls an opponent's unit to your battlefield, the pulled unit's controller becomes the attacker and you become the defender.
Sequence:
- Blitzcrank enters your battlefield (which you already control)
- Blitzcrank's "When you play me" trigger activates
- The trigger moves an opponent's unit to your battlefield
- The pulled enemy unit enters a battlefield controlled by a different player, applying contested status
- The pulled unit's controller becomes the attacker; you become the defender
- Combat stages and resolves
Nuances:
- The attacker is determined by who applied contested status to the battlefield
- Since Blitzcrank was played to a battlefield you already control, it does not apply contested
- The enemy unit being moved to your battlefield is what applies contested status, making its controller the attacker
