If the creature returns to the battlefield attacking, it wasn’t declared as an attacking creature that turn. Abilities that trigger whenever a creature attacks, including the last ability granted by Meandered Towershell, won’t trigger.

Playtest cards aren’t legal for play in any tournament format other than Mystery Booster Limited formats. On the other hand, we expect they will spice up a wide variety of non-tournament games (as long as everyone’s on the same page about using them!).

The Mystery Booster 2 Playtest Card Notes section (reproduced here in individual Gatherer rulings) provides guidance for fitting these cards into the existing rules structure.
