How does Crypsis resolve?
Asked by ScotchMTGFanboy 11 years ago
Let's Say I declare a creature as an attacker, my opponent declares another creature as a blocker, I cast Crypsis unto mine, how does it resolve?
I'm guessing my creature gets "protection from creatures", hence, it can't be blocked by creatures, but since it also untapps, does it also stops attacking or is it like, it's attacking with vigilance? thanks!

If you cast Crypsis after blocks are declared your creature will untap but still be blocked (as the block was declared before it gained protection from creatures, same thing would happen if you were to give it flying or "can not be blocked"). Because your creature is now pro creatures it will not take any damage from the blocking creature though.
Now if you cast Crypsis after declaring attackers and before blockers then you'll untap your creature and the attack will continue, because he now has pro creatures when you proceed to the declare blocker step your opponent will not be able to block him.

Creatures that are declared as attackers or blockers are considered attacking or blocking for the duration of combat. Unless something explicitly removes them from combat (like removing the creature from the battlefield, or regeneration) they will always be attacking or blocking for that combat.
Knowing that, these questions are a lot easier. The blocking creature will still be blocking, and the attacking creature will still be attacking. The creature with protection just won't take any damage, and be untapped.

After the creature is blocked, the creature will stay blocked, even with pro creatures. If you did it before blocks, it wouldn't be able to be blocked.
Creatures stay attacking unless an effect removes them from combat or they leave the battlefield. A tapped, attacking, creature will continue to be attacking even if it gets untapped.
