According to the rules, tapped creatures cannot attack or block. The only time that it matters whether or not they are tapped is when they assign to attack or block.

Can a creature block more than one attacker?

Each creature can only block a single attacker, but the defending player may choose to block an attacking creature with more than one creature. Both players are given a chance to cast instants and activate abilities after blockers have been declared.

What happens when two creatures block?

If multiple creatures block the same attacker, the attacking player orders those blockers to show which is first in line for that attacker’s damage, which is second, and so on. This is all part of the “declare blockers” action. Once that’s done, players can cast spells and activate abilities.

Can I destroy a blocking creature?

Destroying a blocking creature won’t cause any of the creatures it was blocking to become unblocked. They won’t deal combat damage to the defending player or planeswalker (unless they have trample).

How many creatures can block?

Yes. There is normally no limit on how many creatures can block each combat nor is there a limit on how many creatures can block a specific attacker. Some cards may change this by saying creatures can only be blocked by one creature, but the default is “no limit”. 509.1a.

No, one creature cannot be chosen to block multiple attackers (unless otherwise specified on the card, like Avatar of Hope). Each blocking creature may be assigned to one attacking creature.

Can a card block any number of creatures?

Technically yes, if it has “can block any number of creatures” in the text. Otherwise no. This is not a useful answer at all, because any card can do what it says in the text, even if the rules wouldn’t normally let it. That’s the point of putting text on cards. – Cascabel ♦ Feb 15 ’14 at 19:09 Highly active question.

How does one creature block multiple creatures in Magic The Gathering?

509.1a The defending player chooses which creatures that he or she controls, if any, will block. The chosen creatures must be untapped. For each of the chosen creatures, the defending player chooses one creature for it to block that’s attacking him, her, or a planeswalker he or she controls.

What makes a card unaffected by other cards?

This Property entry details every card with an effect that renders it unaffected by card effects, except its own. It also details every card with an effect that prevents other cards from being affected by card effects, except their own effects and the effects of the card granting said protection. ?
