Brutal Hordechief's ability and hexproof
Asked by thatwendell 9 years ago
If I activate Brutal Hordechief's ability and the only creatures my opponents control have hexproof, say an untapped Silumgar, the Drifting Death and Dragonlord Ojutai could I choose to have Dragonlord Ojutai block Brutal Hordechief?
Hexproof means can't be targeted. Hordechief's ability is a non targeting ability since it would affect all creatures able to block. This is the same reason cards like Crux of Fate would be able to destroy a hexproof creature, as it doesn't target.

They only time the hexproof or shroud matters is when a spell or ability specifically says "target". So in this case because Brutal Hordechief's ability doesn't say target you can still choose how your opponent's creatures block.
