@ blindthrall: It's just for you. Each creature can only attack one player (or planeswalker, which still counts as you.)

If you're using this card to stall in the early game, it seems pretty pointless. You're not actively attacking their life total with anything else, so the opponent is free to carelessly spend their life as a free resource.
This type of card only works in multiplayer games, where it can turn an opponent that would be attacking you towards a different player. And in that scenario, it's merely just better than nothing. I would still prefer a removal spell that would keep the creatures from hanging around the board and still posing as a potential threat.

So if they attack one of your planeswalkers does this trigger?

@Vedalken_Arbiter From what I understand, it doesn't trigger. I thought the same thing and ran this alongside Gideon Jura.
So I scrapped the Gideons and placed them with Master Warcraft. All those turns of the opponent being careful with attacks, choosing carefully to attack with this one or that one every here and there? It all comes crashing down with one Master Warcraft. Bonus points if you make them attack into Souls of the Faultless or Holy Day.

So does this cause opponent to lose 1 life for each creature they control that attacks you? Like if they are attacking with 3 creatures they lose three life?

I'd rather have Lightmine Field, but of course; they're very different.
I've only lost to this card once (and it was a close game.) Any other time I've seen it it hasn't been a huge problem. I've attempted to use it a bit, but it just seems hard for it to pay off reliably. Even in multiplayer (which is what I play most often at the moment) it just isn't a huge deterrent; especially since the colors it would make most sense against are White and Green.
It hates on goblins the most; but goblins out-tempo this significantly. It might be worth a T1 dark ritual, but I don't know.
3/5

When does the triggered ability from Hissing Miasma go on the stack? During the Declare Attackers step? Scenario: Your opponent has one point of life left. Your opponent can therefore conceivably kill themselves by declaring attackers. Hissing Miasma's triggered ability would resolve before the Combat Damage step, thereby nullifying your opponent's chance to cause any damage with their attackers.

Sound accurate?
Correct, they die first.
