If I have Familiar Ground and Goblin War Drums out are my creatures unblockable?
Asked by nothingness 13 years ago
If you were to put goblin wardrums and familiar grounds into play would all your creatures become unblockable since familiar ground says "your creatures can only be blocked by one creatures " and goblin wardrums says " your creatures must be blocked by 2 or more"
In fact no.
Whenever a blocking requirements are set, if there is a conflict of requirements, the blockers must fulfill the most requirements they can.
if they have a Razorgrass Screen on the field, that wall will block. In this case the defending player has a blocking requirement.
This will transform in him having to block a creature, because that will satisfy 2 out of 3 requirements (razorgrass screens and familiar ground).
if u have a creature with lure, things can get complicated.
as conclusion you must always explain what is on table and always the blockers must fulfill the most blocking requirements.

@ Scorpse: Razorgrass Screen specifies it blocks each turn if able. With Goblin War Drums and Familiar Ground on the field, by their effects Screen is unable to block. So it doesn't.
One of the golden rules of Magic: Can't Overrides Can.

in fact this is not of can or can't. those enchantments do not make wall ineffective to block (as pacifism).
However, i was wrong, because i misinterpreted an ability. The rule here is that a blocker must fullfill all restrictions and as many if the requirements possible.

Goblin War Drums Familiar Ground they would be unblockable by creatures but spells like Curtain of Light would still block them like normal
