Blocking Phase in Magic: The Gathering

Video Transcript

"Hi this is Mike Lopez with Expert Village. Today we're going to be discussing Magic: the Gathering the card game. Now at this point in time, that I declared attacking, then the blocking phase continues as the opponent decides if he's going to block or, which creatures are going to block which creatures. Now we have a 3/3 and a 3/3, so I'm going to block the 3/3 more than likely, with the 3/3. Going to block a 1/1 to the Elvish Aberration because he doesn't have trample, so even if this creature dies, you do not get the damage. Which also means that there is a 1/1 left over, however, more than likely he's not going to block with the Boneknitter, because the Boneknitter has regeneration of target Zombie. What happens now is that he has claimed blockers. He's going to block the Jagged-Scar Archers with the Soulless One and he's going to block the Carrion Feeder to the Elvish Aberration and this one is not going to be blocked. Now that attackers and blockers are set, now abilities can be tripped."
