Proposed change:

"Tidings of Bold Spies only copies attacks, not effects that allow certain cards to
become automatic-attacks."

Changed text in bold.

Rationale:
Some actual automatic-attacks state that an opponent may play as an automatic-attack some creature from his hand. Special text of some sites says that certain permanent-events in play may/must become an additional automatic-attack.
Although the attributes of creature are used to define such additional AA, the card in play is in play as an event, not as a creature.
We will not speak of such things even in the morning of the Shire.

I put this here out of the way;
Thinking that Not at Home voids at least one attack generated from Tidings of Bold Spies.
Overall, no, but hear me out.

Not at Home is not playable until facing the automatic-attack during the site phase.
But, Tidings of Bold Spies copies the automatic-attacks includes modifications:
if not cancelling a modification or reducing strikes? Logic is the hazard is played,
then in the same chain of effects Not At Home is played cancelling one attack
or with Gates of Morning in play reduces strikes. Cancelling works
when you copy a blank page. You get a blank page of zero strikes?
But you "faced" the attack so Orc-Lieutenant still affected in a way.

That is Not at Home affects that automatic-attack before the text
on Tidings of Bold Spies voids that resource when the new attacks
are not automatic?

Does anyone have an annotation to void this idea?


Or Not at Home works, but reason why Not at Home of denizens
is that denizens are out going after the spies?
