{1}{G}{W} Legendary Creature — Cat Warrior 3/2 First strike Whenever Mirri, Weatherlight Duelist attacks, each opponent can't block with more than one creature this combat. As long as Mirri, Weatherlight Duelist is tapped, no more than one creature can attack you each combat.

Mirri's second ability prevents opponents from declaring more than one attacker if Mirri is tapped. This does not affect creatures that enter the battlefield attacking. However, as currently coded Mirri is negating all combat damage from creatures that enter attacking (ie, Kaalia of the Vast's ability or Leonin Warleader's) and an error reports that no more than one creature may attack. The creatures are entering tapped and applying no combat damage although they should. Here I attack with Kaalia and have her trigger bring in Lord of the Void tapped and attacking. Error occurs, he deals no damage. If this error is ubiquitous for all ETB attacking instances then it will also effect cards such as Silent Arbiter and other mechanics like Ninjutsu. There needs to be a clear distinction between when the game is checking for creatures being declared as attackers or are attacking by other means and when each is applicable.
