For Challenge # 112. Not a keyword. None came to me, and a few were already mentioned anyway so maybe we don't need one. Instead I tried to project 'strangely intelligent, but alien' onto this card.

That's pretty confusing, but it's also a very neat idea.

Weird. And cool.

Not sure how much you stand to gain by declaring your attackers in two waves, but it's a decent ability on a better-than-Durkwood Boars.

This only allows the opponent to declare their attackers in two waves, which is goofy because if there's any information benefit for you to gain at all, they can blank the first set of steps and declare everything in the second set.

The only times when this appears to be relevant are if the opponent has multiple Lure creatures, attacking with both at the same time allows you to split their blockers freely between them. But if they swing with one in each step, the first one must draw all the fire and the second one goes unblocked.

Oh, and "attacks and isn't blocked" triggers will happen twice. The only one of those they've done relatively recently is Master of Cruelties, which is redundant to do a second time, but Guiltfeeder and Stinkdrinker Bandit can really pile it on if there are double declare blockers steps.

Hm? No, this says "on your turn". I guess SM might argue that the opponent doesn't get any declare blockers step on your turn... I think it's clear what the intent is. Perhaps something like "Whenever your opponents declare blockers for the first time during combat on your turn, there is another..."
