Decayed does not grant haste. Creatures with decayed that enter the battlefield during your turn may not attack until your next turn.
wotc24 Sept 2021
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."
wotc24 Sept 2021
Once a creature with decayed attacks, it will be sacrificed at end of combat, even if it no longer has decayed at that time.
wotc24 Sept 2021
Decayed does not create any attacking requirements. You may choose not to attack with a creature that has decayed.
wotc24 Sept 2021
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.
