The good answer is B. When a weapon (the attack-source) moves to a new chain link, the attack (attack-proxy) ceases to exist (cr 1.4.3c,) and no longer counts as an attack that Tyler controls. Tyler only controls two attacks when tiger trap defends #fabtcg #fabjudges

Tyler plays Blood on her Hands, choosing each mode twice(1x each for each of two Cintari Sabers(A and B). They attack with A, then B, and then A a second time. On the 3rd attack, Nic plays Tiger Trap. When Tyler attacks with B a second time, how much will it attack for? #fabtcg #fabjudges

The good answer is A. Ripple Away reduces both creation effects. Gold-Baited Hook applies to Scooba's attack, which is separate from Scooba. However, the source is still considered to be Scooba for the purposes of Ripple Away (1.7.1a) since an attack proxy is not a valid source. #fabtcg #fabjudges
