Do you tap to block in Magic The Gathering?
Nope, you don't need to tap your creatures to block in MTG. When it's time for the defending player to declare blockers during the combat phase, they can choose untapped creatures to block incoming attackers. Just remember, once a creature is tapped, it can't be declared as a blocker until it's untapped again.

Nah, keep'em untapped. If they're tapped, they're basically taking a nap and missing the action. Blocking's off the menu for them.
Actually no, tapping isn't required to block. It seems counterintuitive but that's how the rules roll. Your creatures can stand tall and block without tapping. Just make sure they aren't already snoozing from tapping for another reason!
