01-04-2008 wotc Choking Vines isn’t particularly effective against creatures with trample. Since the creature with trample has no blocker to assign damage to, all the damage will be assigned to the defending player.
01-04-2008 wotc If a previously unblocked creature becomes blocked as a result of Choking Vines, any “When this creature becomes blocked” abilities that creature has will trigger. Any “When this creature becomes blocked by a creature” abilities that creature has won’t trigger.
01-04-2008 wotc You may target a blocked creature with Choking Vines. Choking Vines will deal 1 damage to it, and have no other effect on it.
04-10-2004 wotc Choking Vines will make any creatures it targets become blocked, even if the creature had blocking restrictions on it. For example, you can make a creature with Islandwalk become blocked even if the defending player has Islands. This is because evasion abilities only prevent creatures from being assigned to block them.
04-10-2004 wotc You can declare zero targets, with X=0.
