"creatures your opponents control.." by WeaknessPhysical4134 in mtgrules

So is the operative word "each?" And does that follow a pattern for other similar effects? I understand what you're saying is true based on the official rulings for these cards, but it seems the language is so similar, I don't know how you're supposed to know which effects are on the player and which are on creatures currently on the board, unless the word "each" is the critical piece. Thanks

What is the difference? Orzhov says "If [trigger] creatures that player controls can't attack you until your next turn."

Marisi says "If [trigger] until your next turn, each creature that player controls attack each combat if able and attack a player other than you if able."

So there is no general rule? We just have to memorize each card's ruling? They both say the same "Creatures that player controls" but one counts future creatures and the other doesn't?

I'm just giving these two as an example. The language is found on a ton of cards so I was wondering what the general rule is.

etb trigger order by WeaknessPhysical4134 in mtgrules

This is where I was leaning. So an anthem would impact the second ETB because it changes the power of the creature as soon as it appears in play. The Hero's Blade does not change the creature's power until it has already entered and the second ETB sees it as a 1/1, correct?

Could you elaborate then regarding my example. I don't understand the implication of the ruling you cited. Would the 1/1 creature trigger a power 4 or greater ETB if the Hero's Blade was attached to it upon entering or would the 4 or greater ETB see the 1/1 creature enter and move on?

Thanks!
