How it works : Captain's Claws
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
You choose which opponent or planeswalker controlled by an opponent the token is attacking as it enters the battlefield. It doesn’t have to be the same opponent or planeswalker that the equipped creature is attacking.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
The token is never declared as an attacking creature. It simply enters the battlefield attacking. This won’t cause any abilities that trigger “whenever a creature attacks” to trigger.
No other card is named in this ruling.
