blocking flanking creatures with 1/1 creatures
Mark Beckett
<HTML>
Just wondering weather a 1/1 creature can actually block a flanking creature,
since
<BR>the effect of the flanking is to make the 1/1 creature 0/0. Now the
creature has no
<BR>toughness so does it block the creature then die or die because of
the -1/-1 and so
<BR>not block the attacker with flanking.
<P>Thanks

You may block the attacker even if you know the blocker will die. Once
blocked, the attacker will remain blocked even if the blocker is not in
play when damage dealing comes up. No combat damage will be dealt by the
attacker (unless the attacker has trample, in which case all of the damage
goes directly to the defending player).

so
the damage doesn't come through to you.

1) Turn _off_ whatever is in your newsreader that's doing that. Or get
a newsreader that works. That's just awful.
2) The 1/1 creature blocks, during declare-blockers step, then gets
-1/-1 as a triggered effect immediately after declare-blockers is over,
then dies. The attacker is quite blocked.
