how does lure work in Multiplayer

Asked by The_Overlord_666 5 years ago

here's a scenario: i have the card Lure attached to Sisters of Stone Death and other than me there are three other players. i attack one opponent with the sisters, when they attack are the creatures from all the other opponents forced to block or only the creatures that the targeted opponent controls?

No, because rule 602.4a basically states you can't block for another player and when you attack with the Sisters of Stone Death you must choose one opponent as the target for the attack, which means creatures other two opponents control can't be assigned as blockers for your attacker (eg are unable to block it and Lure has no effect on them)

602.4a A defending player can block only with creatures he or she controls. Those creatures can block only creatures attacking that player; they can’t block creatures attacking other players.

Even if you were able to somehow force them to be assigned as blockers 602.4b simply says to ignore such blocks made from a player other than the defending player.

602.4b When determining whether a defending player’s blocks are legal, ignore any creatures attacking other players and any blocking creatures controlled by other players.
