• 2024-02-02Portal Manipulator's triggered ability doesn't cause "whenever this creature attacks" abilities to trigger.
• 2024-02-02Once Portal Manipulator's triggered ability resolves, the target attacking creatures are still considered to have attacked the player, planeswalker, or battle they were initially declared as attacking, but they are now attacking the target player.
• 2024-02-02If an ability targets something controlled by the "defending player" of an attacking creature and the defending player for that creature changes before that ability resolves, the ability won't resolve because its target has become illegal.
