This would make more sense if there weren't any visual indicators that the enemy creatures would, in fact, attack you after you've activated the ability of that other card.

This challenge could make sense by this interpretation:
- You declare the blockers.
- The attackers AIM the blockers.
- Blocker dies.
- Attacker hits nothing.
Even so the animation explains nothing, and this challenge mess up the original rules.

@txaitxai Now make sense, tanks
-
I very much dislike the fact that destroying blockers before combat damage prevents the attackers from attacking the player. It makes no sense to me.
I try visualizing everything when I play the game, as if it were real.Like how drawing a card is actually you remembering something, or a creature actually doing damage with an ability, and if it makes sense..I see this as being a creature going to attack a planeswalker, being blocked by a random creature, seeing it disappear and then sitting down.
-
Players do not attack creatures, they attack other players or planeswalkers, if you interrupt the attack to sacrifice a defending creature and there is nothing left to block the attack, damage is dealt to defending player. I just checked the official site and can find nothing to indicate otherwise.
Am I missing something WOTC?

@chaosquall1 lol
-
thanks couldn't figure that one out
-
Oh, they don't attack if you sacrifise a creature assigned to block? That's a neat trick! I guess that doesn't work on creatures with trample, does it?
-
@battlefever91 Sure, on their way to the graveyard. However, they wouldn't be on their way to the graveyard until ALL combat damage (since all combat damage is done at the same time per magic rules). If you're able to sac them after they die but before the tramplers damage then not all combat damage is really dealt at the same time. Either this is a bug or Magic rules changed at some point and the creatures attack one after the other, but I highly doubt that is the case.
-
no, this does actually make perfect sense.. in the rules that is. the way it is dealt with in the computer game version makes it seem stupid, but from when i used to play magic in junior high you could always sacrifice creatures as they were going to the graveyard!
-
Can someone please explain to me how this is possible if his creatures have blocked..cause if they block should they take damage and die and if he sacrifices b4 the attack should his life lpoints be wide open for an attack
-
this does not make sense, why wont they attack after their blockers are out of the way ...
no prob
