Nope, if you just played a creature, it can't block on the same turn. Creatures in MTG have what's called 'summoning sickness,' which means they can't attack or use abilities with the tap symbol until your next turn. However, blocking doesn't actually require tapping, but summoning sickness still prevents a creature from blocking the turn it comes into play.

Lol no, they gotta wait a turn. It鈥檚 like they need a sec to figure out what鈥檚 going on before jumping into the fray.

Actually, summoning sickness only stops a creature from attacking or using tap abilities its first turn on the battlefield. So technically, if a creature could somehow get around summoning sickness (like with haste), it would be able to block even if it was just played. But generally, no, a fresh creature can't block.
