Attack triggers are simple: declare your attacker, and anything that says 'Whenever [this creature] attacks, do [effect]' on your creature cards happens. Easy peasy.

So, when you're talkin' about attack triggers in MTG, it's all about those abilities that fire off right when you declare your attackers. Picture this: you're in the heat of battle, you slide your creature card across the table, and bam, its attack trigger goes off because you said it's gonna fight. This can be anything from drawing cards, to dealing damage, to even buffing up your other creatures. It's like your creature is hyped to jump into the fray and does something extra just for showing up to the party.

Honestly, a lot of folks overthink attack triggers. It's literally in the name—'attack' triggers when you attack. Don't make it rocket science!
