, and go again.

Rulings

From the The Hunted release notes

Retrace the Past triggers when it resolves on the stack and becomes an attacking card. When the triggered effect resolves, you must name a card and it will get that name (in addition to its other names), then it gets +2, and go again.
When naming a card, you may name any card, even those that are not legal for the format. For example, you may name “Bonds of Ancestry” if you wish! May you Dishonor your foes again with impunity!
Effects that prevent you from playing a named card (i.e. Null Time Zone, Chains of Eminence, etc.) do not affect cards that gain that name after they have been successfully played.

Keyword notes

Combo - A ninja mechanic that showcases the power of playing multiple attacks in a perfect sequence. Combo cares about the last (previous) attack that was played in the combat chain.

The last attack does not have to have hit for combo to be active.
Only the name of the last attack matters, other variables such as the pitch cost does not matter.
You may still play the attack even if combo isn’t active.
The last attack does not have to have hit.
