Origin of the Hidden Ones is one of those cards players keep asking about. Here is, in plain words, what its official text says, the rulings published by Wizards of the Coast, and the combos players actually run.
01
Official card text
(As this Saga enters and after your draw step, add a lore counter. Sacrifice after III.) I — This Saga deals 4 damage to any target. II — Create two 1/1 black Assassin creature tokens with menace. III — Whenever an Assassin you control attacks this turn, create a 1/1 black Assassin creature token with menace that's tapped and attacking.
How it works : Origin of the Hidden Ones
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
Although the tokens created by the third chapter ability enter the battlefield attacking, they were never declared as attacking creatures. Abilities that trigger whenever a creature attacks won't trigger when they enter the battlefield attacking.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
You choose which player, planeswalker, or battle the Assassin tokens are attacking. Each Assassin token can enter attacking a different player, planeswalker, or battle, and they don't need to be the same ones that the Assassins you control are attacking.
