Card text
Whenever one or more Goblins you control attack, create a 1/1 red Goblin creature token that's tapped and attacking.
Whenever another creature you control enters, General Kreat deals 1 damage to each opponent.
To cross swords with her is a shockingly bad idea.

Official rulings
Three official rulings apply to General Kreat, the Boltbringer, newest first.
- You choose which player, planeswalker, or battle the token is attacking. It doesn't need to be the same player, planeswalker, or battle that any of the other Goblins are attacking.
- If General Kreat enters at the same time as one or more other creatures you control, its last ability will trigger for each of those creatures.
- Although the token created by General Kreat's first ability enters attacking, it was never declared as an attacker. Abilities that trigger whenever a creature attacks won't trigger. If there are any costs to have a creature attack, those costs won't apply to the token.
