Rulings

9/24/2021	After you pay the cost one or more times, a second ability triggers. Players may respond to the new ability at that point. As that ability resolves, Tainted Adversary gets its counters and the tokens are created.
9/24/2021	Decayed represents a static ability and a triggered ability. "Decayed" means "This creature can't block" and "When this creature attacks, sacrifice it at end of combat."
9/24/2021	Decayed does not create any attacking requirements. You may choose not to attack with a creature that has decayed.
9/24/2021	Decayed does not grant haste. Creatures with decayed that enter the battlefield during your turn may not attack until your next turn.
9/24/2021	Once a creature with decayed attacks, it will be sacrificed at end of combat, even if it no longer has decayed at that time.
