Unblockable is a slang term used to describe the mechanic that prevents creatures from being blocked. On cards it appears as Can't be blocked.

Magic Duels symbol

For example:

History

R&D tried to keyword this evasion ability only to discover that there are so many variations on it that they couldn't. Oficially it used to be an attribute of a creature, until it was made obsolete in Magic 2014, where the text Is unblockable was changed to Can't be blocked.[1][2][3] Cards that used the term have received errata in the Oracle card reference. Can't be blocked is primary in blue That color both has creatures with this ability and grants it through spells and Auras.[3]

Granting unblockability

A creature's ability that grants unblockability can be static (Covert Operative), triggered (Bubbling Beebles) or activated (Blockade Runner). Some spells also grant a creature unblockability, often along with shroud. Additionally, some effects that grant unblockability may only target creatures with power 2 or less (Dwarven Warriors).

Spells and Artifacts that grant Unblockable

Cards that allow a player to block an unblockable attacking creature

"Cannot be blocked (except) by"

A variant of 'unblockable' restricts unblockability to a certain subset of creatures, often naming a color, creature type, number of power or greater, number of blocking creatures or creatures with a certain keyword ability.

Example of "Cannot be blocked (except) by"
