Official rulings

5 rulings · in English, source Scryfall

Decayed does not grant haste. Creatures with decayed that enter the battlefield during your turn may not attack until your next turn.

2021-09-24 · Wizards of the Coast

Once a creature with decayed attacks, it will be sacrificed at end of combat, even if it no longer has decayed at that time.

2021-09-24 · Wizards of the Coast

Decayed does not create any attacking requirements. You may choose not to attack with a creature that has decayed.

2021-09-24 · Wizards of the Coast

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."

2021-09-24 · Wizards of the Coast

After you pay the {2}{B} 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.
