"All attacks are canceled" means that the attack IS canceled. The attack doesn't get to not be cancelled. Prowess of Age only cancels the triggered action, it doesn't cancel the effect that triggers the actions.Konrad Klar wrote: ↑Thu Jul 16, 2020 11:10 pmIf a cancel action is not successful, the attack is still the same attack.

You said the Roused Dragon's own cancellation of the attack was the same the Roused Dragon's creation of its own attack. I said its actually different because the creation specifically happens "one" time while the self-cancellation happens every time ("all").
"All attacks are canceled" does not mean "attacks are canceled repeatedly'.
"All attacks by manifestations of Scorba against your companies are canceled." This effect operates by passive conditions.
The passive condition is: an attack by a manifestation of Scorba.
The triggered action is: cancel that attack.
If the passive conditions exists during ANY chain of effects, the triggered action is triggered and it is declared in the following chain of effects. That is how passive conditions work. The only reason that Long Winter doesn't continuously tap the site after it has been untapped are because there is a special rule for Environments: "Once the effects of an environment card have been applied to a target during a given movement/hazard phase, that effect is not applied again to that target during the current turn."
What about other effects triggered by passive conditions like Rank Upon Rank? "All non-agent Man attacks receive +1 prowess and +1 strikes." When Assassin comes into play it creates a non-agent Man attack, triggering the "receives +1 prowess and +1 strikes" action. This action is then applied to Assassin, giving it +1 prowess and +1 strikes." So someone might say "But the passive condition still exists?! There is still a Man attack, so it triggers another +1 prowess and +1 strike?" Uh no, this attack already has +1 prowess and +1 strikes, there is nothing left to do... Rank Upon Rank doesn't say +2 prowess and +2 strikes.
