if Turntimber Basilisk has protection from bla and attacks and uses his landfall ability to force block a creature, wIll my creature still block it even though the block can't be done due to the protection?

Asked by nickiru 10 years ago

Since if a creature has protection from something and that something can't block it, will Turntimber Basilisk 's ability override that?

Devonin says... Accepted answer #1

Block "IF ABLE"

If protection makes it unable to block, it will be unable to block.

"Can't" always trumps "Can"

Please ask the question in the body of the post, not in the title. It's very annoying to have to read everything in inflated letters.

Epochalyptik: but the tappedout site says that I ask the question like it gives in the example for the title?

What would you prefer other than what is shown as a bad example?

Something like

"Turntimber Basilisk and Protection question" maybe

but that is an equivalent to the bad example of:

"Painters servant question," giving in the bad example category.

What I am saying is that Epochalyptik is conflicting with what is told for me to do by the site itself. so............. bla

The two examples you two just gave aren't equivalent. Devonin's suggestion tells us everything we need to know about the topic (the card involved and why it matters/what the mechanic in question is).

"Painter's Servant question" is comparatively vague.

I'd just rather not read six lines of enlarged, bolded text to figure out what your question is. I should know at a glance what the question will be about, and I should be able to read the description to find the full question.

Epochalyptik, then the Q & A help text should be changed.

I would change

"Important! Asks questions briefly and plainly"

to

"Important! Your question should be brief but informative, with the full detail described in the 'Explanation' section."
