Civilized Scholar // Homicidal Brute
: Draw a card, then discard a card. If a creature card is discarded this way, untap this creature, then transform it.
"Me, angry? Of course not. Thanks to my research, I'm above such petty emotions now."
At the beginning of your end step, if this creature didn't attack this turn, tap this creature, then transform it.
For a moment his basest desires run free, unshackled by reason or conscience.

You'll tap and transform Homicidal Brute even if it couldn't attack.
If Civilized Scholar attacks, and later in the turn (but before the beginning of your end step), it transforms, Homicidal Brute's last ability won't trigger. This is because the creature attacked that turn, even if had its other face up at the time.
You don't have priority between untapping Civilized Scholar and transforming it. You can't activate the draw-and-discard ability again, for example.
