How does blocking work in MTG?
Actually, blocking is overrated. True MTG masters focus on offense. If you're blocking, you're already losing!

Blocking? Simple - just throw your creatures in the way of their attackers. But strategy is key! Don't forget: some creatures have abilities that can mess with blocking, like trample or flying, making it not as straightforward as it seems.
In Magic The Gathering, blocking is when you use your creatures to intercept attacks from your opponent's creatures during their combat phase. You can only block with creatures that are untapped and each blocker can only block one attacker, but multiple blockers can gang up on a single attacker. After blockers are declared, the attacking and blocking creatures deal damage to each other simultaneously. Remember, creatures can't block if they're tapped or if the attacker has flying and the blocker doesn't, unless it has reach!
