Official rulings

Five official rulings apply to Capricopian, newest first.

  • If you reselect which player an attacking creature is attacking, that creature is still considered to have attacked the player as declared, but it is now attacking the new player.
  • The player Capricopian is attacking can’t reselect it to attack a planeswalker instead. If Capricopian is attacking a planeswalker, no player may activate its last ability.
  • Reselecting which player a creature is attacking doesn’t cause “whenever this creature attacks” abilities to trigger.
  • Reselecting which player a creature is attacking ignores all requirements, restrictions, and costs associated with attacking.
  • The player Capricopian becomes attacking may activate its ability, perhaps sending Capricopian right back towards its original destination.
