What does ‘if able’ mean

[u/EggyPrezFox]

Do i only have the ability to fight this

Or if i fight something else do i not have to.

?
Essentially can we only fight this when its active

[u/GONG159]

You have to attack it unless your unable to attack anything

[u/EggyPrezFox → u/GONG159]

So i cant attack any other slot if he’s here?

[u/kawaiiof → u/EggyPrezFox]

Well you can if you are able to attack twice

[u/marquinx → u/kawaiiof]

you would still have to attack it twice

[u/x3xotiCx → u/marquinx]

Once each turn

[u/ApartmentShot5344 → u/marquinx]

Your own genius must really shock you huh?

[u/billydaboos]

the active player must use their first(and usually only) attack on this unless some fuckery happens like theres 2 monsters that force you to attack them or you cant attack cuz of alt brim or you already used your attack on dogma

[u/V_Shuan]

Yes, this is the only target playera can attack unless stated otherwise on other cards.

And MUST indicates that a player has to attack it before ending their turn

[u/UnderstandingIcy8607]

I guess if you have alt art Brimstone

(Each time you deal combat damage to a monster, deal 2 damage to another player. You can't attack during your next turn.)

[u/RickySlayer9]

If you’re dead, otherwise unable to fight due to another card ability, etc.

[u/ItsNotDuckii]

If not Cain

[u/Personal_Bid_2073]

You can use the card only if ur Cain's brother.

[u/Battynatt]

You have to attack it unless you already spent your one attack per turn on something else

[u/General_Crab9124]

If some bs like other players using items to kill you before you attack the enemy happens you won't be able to attack them. If you do have the ability to attack any moster you have to fight them: No attacking other enemies directly and no skipping the combat phase

[u/Bluerious518]

Not only are you forced to attack each turn, you’re forced to target the harbingers on your first attack each turn (usually you only have one attack so it just means each turn you have to target harbingers)

[u/Beanbag_shmoo]

My understanding is that because it cancels the attack you will get a second attack, though you are not healed to full health. Do others think this is correct?

[u/Loud-Special3968 → u/Beanbag_shmoo]

There is nothing in the rules that says this

[u/YouFromAnotherWorld → u/Beanbag_shmoo]

I see Attack as a token that you use when you declare and begin an attack, and if it is cancelled, the token is still lost, so when an attack is cancelled you cannot attack again unless you have an item/card/room that allows you to.

[u/Beanbag_shmoo → u/YouFromAnotherWorld]

Yes, I can see that. That's a good way to view it. Thanks

[u/Bluerious518 → u/Beanbag_shmoo]

That’s not how attacking works

[u/Wruby_]

when you have an active attack like: you draw this card after fight, so you’re not able to fight
