    If, during your declare attackers step, Manticore Eternal is tapped or is affected by a spell or ability that says it can't attack, then it doesn't attack. If there's a cost associated with having it attack, you aren't forced to pay that cost, so it doesn't have to attack in that case either.
  • 2017-06-27
    If multiple creatures block a creature with afflict, afflict triggers only once.
  • 2017-06-27
    Afflict causes the defending player to lose life; it's not damage or combat damage.
  • 2017-06-27
    If a creature is attacking a planeswalker, that planeswalker's controller is the defending player.
  • 2017-06-27
    Afflict resolves before combat damage is dealt. If this loss of life brings a player to 0 life or less, that player loses the game immediately. A blocking creature with lifelink won't deal combat damage in time to save that player.
