Official rulings

Three official rulings apply to Challenger Troll, newest first.

  • If a creature you control with power 4 or greater has menace, it can’t be blocked by only one creature and it can’t be blocked by more than one creature, so it simply can’t be blocked.
  • Once a creature you control with power 3 or less has become blocked by two or more creatures, changing its power won’t cause either blocking creature to stop blocking it.
  • Challenger Troll’s ability affects itself as long as its power remains 4 or greater.
