Can creatures with summoning sickness defend in MTG?
Yep, they can block. Summoning sickness only stops them from attacking or using tap abilities the turn they come into play.

In my experience, blocking with a freshly summoned creature has turned the tide of many battles. Summoning sickness doesn't affect their ability to defend, which is super clutch.
Absolutely! In Magic The Gathering, creatures with summoning sickness can still block an attack even if they can't attack themselves on the turn they're played. So, go ahead and summon that creature; it might just save your life鈥攐r at least your life points!
