Watcher in the Water and Doors of Durin
I've got a rules question, because if this works, it's one heck of a flavor win: Can [[Doors of Durin]] bring out [[The Watcher in the Water]] tapped and attacking, or will The Watcher in the Water be unable to attack due to the stun counters?
Yes, that works.
From the Comprehensive Rules:
What's notable here is what it doesn't say. Stun counters prevent a creature from untapping. They don't prevent it from doing anything else that it would normally have to tap to do, if you can find a way to do that thing that doesn't require tapping it. Doors of Durin is just such a way.
A vaguely related rules interaction: I had a game recently where I was able to attack [[The Eternal Wanderer]] with two creatures (despite its static ability that disallows that) because one of them was a token from [[Adeline]].
[[card name]] to call
Doors of Durin says:
This means the creature enters as an attacking creature, rather than being declared as an attacker. Watcher in the Water does enter with stun counters on it, but those don't affect the fact that it already entered as an attacking creature.
Stun counters only prevent a permanent from untapping. That's all they do.
So yes, it does the flavorful thing.

That's a cool flavour win!
