An evasion ability on a creature restricts which creatures can block it. The ultimate example would be "This creature is unblockable", but there are several other evasion abilities, such as:

  • Flying (Can only be blocked by other creatures with flying)
  • Fear (Can only be blocked by Black/Artifact creatures)
  • Horsemanship (Can only be blocked by other creatures with Horsemanship)
  • Shadow (Can only block or be blocked by other creatures with Shadow)
  • Landwalk (Is completely unblockable if defending player controls a land with this property.)
  • Protection (Cannot be blocked by creatures with this quality)
  • Specific 'Cannot be blocked by' clauses.
