• 2013-10-17: If there's a cost associated with having a creature attack, the player isn't forced to pay that cost, so it doesn't have to attack.
• 2013-10-17: Creatures that didn't attack during the combat phase when Illusionist's Gambit resolved aren't required to attack in the additional combat phase, although they may. Those creatures can attack you or a planeswalker you control.
• 2013-10-17: If, during a player's declare attackers step, a creature is tapped, is affected by a spell or ability that says it can't attack, or hasn't been under that player's control continuously since the turn began (and doesn't have haste), then it doesn't attack.
