First, when does the curse creature "Unfaithful Predator" attack right away or when the cursed player chooses?
Second, Quickness means that the character attacks, defends and uses it's abilities at that speed, We got into a little bit of an arguement over it. An Unfaithful Predator (speed 4) attacked (randomly) a character with a sword of quickness (speed 5). The character with the sword would defend first and deal it's damage to the Unfaithful and the Unfaithful would not get a chance to deal it's damage in return, correct? My side in the dispute was that everything happens in order not when the card was played but by what the card's speed was so cards with a speed of 9 go off first on down to cards with a speed of 0. If a card with a higher speed removed a card with a lower speed then the lower speed card's effect (weither it's ability or it's contribution to a spell's cost) would not take place, correct?
My opponent doesn't believe that while combat is done at a speed of 0 characters with quickness actually resolve their combat at their speed, 4 in the case of the Unfaithful. Some of the other players have been resolving quickness that the character deals it's damage first and then the other creature deals it's damage in return. They have also been ruling that if two characters with quickness are in combat together that each others quickness cancels out the others. HELP!?!?!?

The controling player can choose when to attack with "Unfathful Predator" but it MUST attack at some point during the controller's turn so long as the "Unfathful Predator" is able to attack.
You are 100% correct about Speed.
A creature with Quickness deals its damage at their speed number. If this damage kills the opposing creature the damage from that opposing creature will not be dealt to the creature with Quickness. If two creatures with Quickness are against eachother and the faster one kills the slower one, the slower one will die before his/her damage is dealt. If both creatures with quickness (or any ability) are tied with the same speed, the player whose turn it is wins the tie.
I really hope this helps. =)

Helps perfectly and now for more questions. If I have Globe of Invinciblity on a creature that attacks Grimus can Grimus use his ability to permenantly reduce the creature's health? Also does Grimus's ability reduce a creature/character's health to 0, thus sending it to the cemetary or killing the character? If an Unfaithful Predator was played in a resource pile that belong to a player controlling Thandore and the only other creatures available to attack were rogues which were all invisible could the player with thandore have to wait to use Unfaithful until it had an available target? So many questions so little time LOL

These are some great questions!
A creature protected by Globe of Invincibility cannot be targeted, even by Grimus.
If Grimus's ability brings a creatures health down to 0 then that creature is destroyed. Some goes for characters.
If all of your creatures are invisible, or if you have no other creatures, then Unfaithful Predator must attack your Character.

Question on cursed creatures "Unfaithful Predator": 1st, Who controls the creature? The owner or the cursed player. 2nd, Can the cursed creature have items attached to it? 3rd, Can the person that played the cursed creature attach items to it even though its cursing their opponent? 4th, You mentioned that the person who was cursed by the "Unfaithful Predator" can decide when it attacks, can they decide to defend with it? 5th, Can the person that played the curse use it to defend with? I'm assuming no but wanted to make sure. 6th, When a card says it raises the power and/or health/ or redirected etc.. of creatures you control would the curse be affected. Based on asnwer 1.

Synergy. The only thing that causes combat damage to happen at the faster speed is the Quickness mechanic. Without Quickness damage is dealt simultaneously between two creatures in combat, once the combat event resolves.
Sojo. Once a card of any type enters play under your control, you control every aspect of that card. Even a card with curse. However, the card might have some specila rule(s) on it cause things to change up a bit. In the case of Unfaithful Prediter. The player who had the card played on them controls the card once it enters play. Just like any other creature you would play normaly. Only it has some negative properties to it. Let me just answer the questions you had.
1st, Who controls the creature? The owner or the cursed player. The cursed Player.
2nd, Can the cursed creature have items attached to it? Sure, so long as it is not a guardian.
3rd, Can the person that played the cursed creature attach items to it even though its cursing their opponent? No.
4th, You mentioned that the person who was cursed by the "Unfaithful Predator" can decide when it attacks, can they decide to defend with it? No. It MUST use its action to Attack. It could block however, and if it dies, oh well. =)
5th, Can the person that played the curse use it to defend with? I'm assuming no but wanted to make sure. No.
6th, When a card says it raises the power and/or health/ or redirected etc.. of creatures you control would the curse be affected. Based on asnwer 1. Yes

Great I was right about everything but the blocking. Which is good to know. I hope to see more of these type of creature curses. I truefully would like it better if it wasn't controllable unless say you puified it. But if it does it does. I was hit by one today that I purifed and then used it against agaist him which was fun.
Sojo out!
