Evasion ability
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) e.g. Wild Griffin
- Fear (Can only be blocked by Black/Artifact creatures) e.g. Gluttonous Zombie
- Horsemanship (Can only be blocked by other creatures with Horsemanship)
- Shadow (Can only block or be blocked by other creatures with Shadow) e.g. Soltari Priest
- Landwalk (Is completely unblockable if defending player controls a land with this property.) e.g. Forest Dryad
- Protection (Cannot be blocked by creatures with this quality) e.g. Paladin en-Vec
- Specific 'Cannot be blocked by' clauses. e.g. Vindictive Mob
