Official rulings

Two official rulings apply to Hooded Horror, newest first.

  • Once Hooded Horror is blocked, it doesn’t matter if the defending player controls the most creatures. The block won’t be undone.
  • The number of creatures each player controls is evaluated only as blocking creatures are declared. If, at that time, the defending player doesn’t control the most creatures or isn’t tied for the most, Hooded Horror can be blocked.
