Jace, Reality Sculptor emblem bug against Mobilize
Played a game with Jace, Reality Sculptor, where I activated the ability:
"-3: Until your next turn, whenever a creature attacks you or a planeswalker you control, it gets -5/-0 until end of turn."
Opponent had "Voice of Victory", which has "Mobilize 2", meaning when it attacks, two 1/1 tokens are created, attacking too.
However, Jace's emblem is not working against any "Mobilize" token. I'm not sure this is intentional. Jace's emblem says clearly that "whenever a creature attacks you or a planeswalker you control, it gets -5/-0 until end of turn.", and the "Mobilize 2" ability says: "Whenever this creature attacks, create 2 tapped and attacking 1/1 red Warrior creature tokens."
It says that they are attacking, therefore they should be affected by Jace's emblem, surely?
Anyways, thank you

Mobilze tokens enter attacking, they never attacked. As such they are not subject to attack restrictions or requirements, and are not subject to effects on creatures attacking. They are attacking creatures, and can be affected as such, but they are not creatures that attacked.
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.” They remain attacking creatures until they’re
removed from combat or the combat phase ends, whichever comes first.
