## Official Rulings
- *(2011-06-01)* You choose which opponent or planeswalker an opponent controls that each token is attacking when it is put onto the battlefield.
- *(2011-06-01)* Although the tokens are attacking, they never were declared as attacking creatures (for purposes of abilities that trigger whenever a creature attacks, for example).
- *(2011-06-01)* Whenever Hero of Bladehold attacks, both abilities will trigger. You can put them onto the stack in any order. If the token-creating ability resolves first, the tokens each get +1/+0 until end of turn from the battle cry ability.
