When this creature enters, you may pay
any number of times. When you pay this cost one or more times, put that many +1/+1 counters on this creature, then create twice that many 2/2 black Zombie creature tokens with decayed. (A creature with decayed can't block. When it attacks, sacrifice it at end of combat.)Legality is a property of the card, not the printing, so it is identical for all 6 versions.
Official Judge Precedents
5 PrecedentsDecayed does not grant haste. Creatures with decayed that enter the battlefield during your turn may not attack until your next turn.
Once a creature with decayed attacks, it will be sacrificed at end of combat, even if it no longer has decayed at that time.
Decayed does not create any attacking requirements. You may choose not to attack with a creature that has decayed.
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."
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.
