If Yasuo Remorseful attacks a battlefield and you have a tank, can he bypass it?

Question

Accepted Answer

Yes, Yasuo, Remorseful can bypass a unit with the **Tank** keyword when using his "When I attack" ability.

The **Tank** keyword is a passive ability that specifically restricts how **combat damage** is assigned during the Combat Damage Step of a showdown. According to Rule 741.1.b, Tank is functionally short for: *"I must be assigned lethal damage before any other unit with the same controller as me that does not have [Tank] during combat resolution."*

Because Yasuo's "When I attack" ability is a triggered ability that deals damage outside of the combat damage assignment process, the restrictions imposed by the Tank keyword do not apply to it.

**Summary of the interaction:**
*   **Tank** only restricts the assignment of combat damage during the Combat Damage Step (Rule 443.1).
*   **Yasuo's ability** deals damage as a triggered ability when he attacks.
*   Since Yasuo's ability is not combat damage, you are free to target any enemy unit on the battlefield, regardless of whether it has the Tank keyword.

Note: I could not fully verify this ruling against the retrieved rules.
