Nope, creatures don't have to block in MTG. Blocking is totally up to the player controlling the creature. You can decide to let your opponent's attack go through if you think it's the best move for your strategy. Remember, it's all about that sweet, sweet game plan.

Gotta say no here. One of the beauty parts of MTG is strategizing whether or not to block with your creatures. Always optional, never mandatory.

Absolutely not. Creatures are not required to block. Think of it as a choice in your tactical toolbox. Sometimes eating the damage to save your creature for a more critical play is the way to go.

Not at all! Blocking is optional. Sometimes it's smarter not to block, especially if it means losing a valuable creature you want to keep around. Always weigh the pros and cons based on the situation.

Blocking? Only if you feel like it. Keeping your creatures alive for bigger plays or sacrificing them for the greater good, it's all strategy, baby!
