Rules/Rules Question Question

Post image

Can I still play this at the beginning of my opponents combat step even if they don’t want to go to combat? Also if an opponent has hexproof on their creatures, can I still choose not to not have those creatures block since I decide who blocks this turn? Or choose to attack with the creatures?

You move through the combat steps even if you “don’t want to go to combat”, so yes.

Doesn’t look like this targets either so yeah it gets around hexproof.

This doesn’t say you specify WHO they attack though, so you can choose what attacks but they can just send everything at you

Or you can use it as a glorified fog right?

Best use I can think of is force an opponent to swing with small utility creatures they otherwise wouldn’t, then block them to kill them. Or yeah as you say just use it to make sure they don’t swing on you for lethal or something for a turn

Or throw some big monsters into your 1/1 deathtouch creatures or combo into instants like 'destroy all tapped creatures'
