Can you defend but tap the defender in MTG?
Absolutely! In Magic The Gathering, you can indeed declare a creature as a blocker and then tap it afterwards for its abilities or effects. Just remember, the creature has to be untapped to be declared as a blocker in the first phase of combat, but feel free to tap it afterwards if you got a sneaky play in mind!

Nope, you got it wrong. Once you declare it as a blocker, tapping it doesn't remove it from combat. It's like saying "I block with this creature, and now I'll also do something else with it." MTG rules allow for some pretty interesting strategies!
Actually, it's not about defending then tapping. It's more like, tap it if you want, but it has to be untapped to block first. After that? Tap away for whatever cunning plan you have!
Why would you even? Just attack!
