The ruling for the Imp states that if a creature couldn't attack because of restrictions or was tapped, it is bombed after combat...game, set and match?

Not so sure. The creatures attack if able. They are unable if tapped...

According to the official ruling on Gatherer updated 2004, "If a creature can't attack because of some restriction, or because it is tapped, it is destroyed at the end of turn". So yes, I am right and Terakhan, with his combo is right, you lose!

@pal - i understand the confusion, i was thinking the same thing until i reread the imp. the imp destroys creatures that did not attack, if they could or couldn't is illrelevent, they didnt attack so bye

Ah I see the second sentence now. Inability to attack is irrelevant as all creatures that did not attack are destroyed. Thanks guys :)
