Attack Trigger
Creatures and effects with abilities that trigger when a creature attacks, rewarding the act of declaring attackers regardless of whether damage connects. Hellrider pings each opponent per attacker, Aurelia, the Warleader untaps her team for a second swing, Adeline, Resplendent Cathar spits out Human tokens on each attack, and Goblin Rabblemaster pumps itself per Goblin attacking. Includes whole-team triggers like Fervent Charge and Brutal Hordechief, tribal attack triggers like Najeela, the Blade-Blossom and Winota, Joiner of Forces, and doublers like Isshin, Two Heavens as One. Distinct from combat.combat_damage_trigger, which fires on 'deals combat damage' and requires connecting through blockers, while attack triggers resolve as soon as the creature is declared as an attacker.
