Hi everybody,
I'm putting together Najeela, the Blade-Blossom and had a question about who qualifies as attacking creatures. Najeela reads that if you pay for her ability, she untaps all attacking creatures and then there is a second combat. So, if a creature attacks in the first combat, gets untapped in the second combat, but doesn't attack for the second - does that creature get untapped if I do a third combat?
Ex. I have Bloom Tender who can tap for five mana. I attack with the Tender and Najeela in my regular combat, then use my lands to activate Najeela's ability. Then I go to my second combat, Tender and Najeela untap and I use Bloom Tender's ability to activate Najeela for a third combat. In the third combat do both Najeela and Tender untap, or just Najeela?
Najeela's activated ability affects any creatures that are currently attacking when the ability resolves. It does not matter if it attacked earlier in the turn, what matters is that it's currently attacking. So no, in your case, the Tender will not untap, since it is not an attacking creature when the activated ability resolves. Also, note that the creature untap when the activated ability of Najeela resolves, not when the additional combat phase begins.

Scientists have calculated that the chance of anything so patently absurd actually existing are millions to one. But magicians have calculated that million-to-one chances crop up nine times out of ten.
Attacking creatures are creatures that are currently attacking during combat. So the ones you declared as attackers that combat or were put on the battlefield attacking that combat.
In your given example, in your second combat only Najeela is currently attacking. Your Bloom Tender was tapped for its ability. So only the Najeela will untap for your third combat.
Hope that helps explain things for you.
