Reach or Fog-like spells) which would be cast after blockers are declared. The same for spells which grant abilities which trigger 'When SN attacks' which are cast after attackers are declared.\r\n\r\nIn essence, Attack timing should really be checking the BeginOfCombat phase, and Block timing should be checking Attack phase (as in cast after attackers are declared)."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/magarena/magarena/issues/comments/203917347","html_url":"https://github.com/magarena/magarena/issues/748#issuecomment-203917347","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/magarena/magarena/issues/748","id":203917347,"user":{"login":"melvinzhang","id":1620634,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1620634?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/melvinzhang","html_url":"https://github.com/melvinzhang","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/melvinzhang/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/melvinzhang/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/melvinzhang/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/melvinzhang/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/melvinzhang/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/melvinzhang/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/melvinzhang/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/melvinzhang/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/melvinzhang/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-03-31T12:46:42Z","updated_at":"2016-03-31T12:46:42Z","body":"> so a 'Target creature can't attack' can't be cast during the declare attackers phase\r\n\r\nYes, I agree with this. It needs to be before. Similarly granting Reach to block flyers should be before Blocking phase. Note that Magarena use of phase/step is a bit different from the pdf, what we call a phase is named step in the pdf, what we call a step is named actions.\r\n\r\n> Maybe if you wanted when-blocking triggers to occur, but not the best way of going about it.\r\n\r\nThat makes sense."}}
