Sab-Sunen, Luxa Embodied attacking with all values of counters
My opponent was repeatedly able to attack with Sab-Sunen https://scryfall.com/card/dft/221/sab-sunen-luxa-embodied regardless of the number of counters (pictured here at 5) on the card. From 2 all the way up through 6.

Thanks very much Rezzahan. In my mind I was reading "+1/+1" counters when, as you correctly pointed out, it's ALL counters. That also explains the prior behavior enabling Sab-Sunen to, nearly constantly, attack and defend. You're such a valued contributor to this forum.

ALL counters on Sab-Sunen count for the ability. Since your opponent has Ornery Tumblewagg, which can give out counters, he can manipulate Sab-Sunen into always having an even number of counters when it's time to delcare attackers.
In the screenshot, Sab-Sunen has 6 counters (5x +1/+1, and what appears to be a flying counter) and is thus able to attack.
