In Magic: The Gathering, blocking is when a player uses their creatures to prevent an opponent's attacking creatures from dealing damage to them. When a creature is declared as a blocker, it will intercept the attacking creature and combat damage is resolved between the two creatures. Blocking is a strategic element in the game that allows players to protect themselves and their creatures from harm during combat.
In Magic: The Gathering (MTG), blocking damage works by assigning creatures to block attacking creatures during combat. The blocking creature's power and toughness determine how much damage it can prevent. If the blocking creature's toughness is equal to or greater than the attacking creature's power, it will survive the combat and prevent damage. If the blocking creature's toughness is less than the attacking creature's power, it will be destroyed and the excess damage will be dealt to the defending player or planeswalker.
