Need for speed red color mastery achievement doesn't count tokens
The red color mastery achievement Need for Speed says that you need to attack with creatures that entered battlefield this turn. After running goblin token and mobilize decks I noticed that I had a very low count in this achievement. The fact that I'm creating a large amount of creatures and attacking with them to turn they enter should count towards this achievement as it is described. Please do something to address this.

The number is so low, because the achievement IS hard. Because any creatures entering attacking do not count. And that is because to attack with a creature means to DECLARE it as attacker. A creature entering attacking has never been declared as attacker, so did not attack, even though it is attacking. So you have to DECLARE 5+ creatures as attackers, that also happen to have entered the battlefield in the same turn. And that means you NEED haste.
Edit:
Just rechecked, the achievement both of us had in mind is Surprise Attack. But Need for Speed has the same inherrent restrictions, you have to declare attackers, not just get attacking creatures.508.4. If a creature is put onto the battlefield attacking, its controller chooses which defending player,
planeswalker a defending player controls, or battle a defending player protects it’s attacking as it
enters the battlefield (unless the effect that put it onto the battlefield specifies what it’s attacking).
Similarly, if an effect states that a creature is attacking, its controller chooses which defending
player, planeswalker a defending player controls, or battle a defending player protects it’s attacking
(unless the effect has already specified). Such creatures are “attacking” but, for the purposes of
trigger events and effects, they never “attacked.”-------
Some examples of what DOES work to get the Surprise Attack achievement:
1) Season of the Burrow for 5 1/1 tokens, with Urabrask the Hidden giving them haste, then attacking with those 5 tokens.
2) playing five cheap creatures with haste and then attacking with them. Like two Slickshot Showoffs coming out of plot, two Monastary Swiftspears, and a Screaming Nemesis. Then attacking with all of them.
3) Roaming Throne set to Dinosaurs on the field. Then playing Trumpeting Cranosaur, hitting Palini's Hatcher with the discover 5. Then attacking with the Carnosaur, the two 3/3 tokens you get from the Hatcher sacrificing two of the four Eggs it made,and the two unhatched Eggs. (This is how I accidentally got the achievement, since I did not intend to attack with the 0/1s, but had just hit "attack all".)
