Can you block and then sacrifice a creature in MTG?
Yes, absolutely! In Magic The Gathering, you can declare a creature as a blocker and then, before damage is dealt, sacrifice it for a benefit. Just remember, the attacking creature is still considered blocked and won't deal combat damage to you unless it has trample. It's a classic move for getting the best out of creatures that are going to die anyway.

Sure can! It's one of the sneaky tactics to frustrate your opponent. Block their big hitter and then sac your blocker to fuel your devious plans. No damage to you and you get extra benefits!
Nope, why waste a good creature? Just kidding, it's actually a legit strategy, especially if your creature was gonna bite the dust anyway or you can trigger a sweet sacrifice ability.
Absolutely, and it's a pro move! Did it last Friday at a game night; blocked an incoming Gruul Smashface with my Doomdoom Rat, then sacced it to draw two cards. Left my opponent pretty salty.
