Mirri, Weatherlight Duelist - blocking replacement effect?
Asked by ExpectDragons 6 years ago
The ability of Mirri, Weatherlight Duelist when attacking states that each opponent can't block with more than one creature. However if i'm also attacking with Nacatl War-Pride it must be blocked by exactly one creature, which would appear to be a replacement effect for mirri?

If there are multiple requirements and restrictions to take into account when declaring attackers/blockers, you have to make a declaration that maximizes the number of requirements being fulfilled without violating any restrictions. The first ability on Nacatl War-Pride and the token copies it creates is a requirement and the first ability on Mirri, Weatherlight Duelist is a restriction. In your example the only legal declaration of blockers your opponent can make is to block the War Pride (or one of the token copies) with one creature.

There doesn't seem to be a contradiction here. Mirri, Weatherlight Duelist says that the opponent can't block with more than one creature and Nacatl War-Pride says it has to be blocked by one creature if able, it is able (assuming nothing else os going on), so the War-Pride is blocked by one creature and nothing else is blocked.
