How does blocking work in MTG?
In Magic The Gathering, when your opponent attacks with their creatures, you have the option to block them using your own creatures. You declare which of your creatures will block which attacking creatures. A creature can only block one attacker, but multiple creatures can block a single attacker. After blocks are declared, the creatures deal damage to each other simultaneously. If the blocker has enough power to equal or exceed the attacker's toughness, the attacking creature gets destroyed, and vice versa. Remember, though, unless your creature has flying or reach, it can't block creatures with flying!

Just don't forget, some creatures can't block at all! Always check for abilities like 'Can't Block' or conditions that might prevent blocking.
Blocking in MTG is all about choosing which of your creatures will take the hit so your life points don't have to. But not all blocks are created equal! Some creatures come with special abilities that spice up the blocking game, like 'First Strike' which lets them deal damage first. So, a bit of strategy and knowing your cards goes a long way.
