The declare blockers step is a step of the combat phase, where attacking creatures may be blocked.[1][2][3][4]

Creatures assigned in this step are blocking.

Blocking mechanics

Blocking extra creatures

By default, each blocking creature can only block one attacking creature. Some creatures have a mechanic that allows them to block extra creatures (This creature can block an additional N creatures each combat.). This mechanic is primary in white and green.[5]

Can't be blocked

Main article: Unblockable

Can't be blocked (AKA Unblockable) is primary in blue.[5]

Can’t be blocked by creatures with power 2 or less

This ability, nicknamed Daunt, appears irregularly green.[5]

Can't block

The "Can't block" drawback is primary in black and secondary in red.[5]

Deals damage when blocked

This effect is done primarily in red creatures. When black does it, it is usually loss of life. Afflict also does this in blue.[5]

Forced block

Forced block (Target creature must block this turn.) is seldom used but primary in red and secondary in green.[5]
