Yeah that card makes no sense. What's it blocked by? What if it has wither... or trample? What happens then? Makes no sense...

It's just declared blocked... If it has no trample, no damage... If it has trample, go figure, subtract the toughness of the blocking creature (which is 0, nothing, void) from the power of the attacking creature, that's the damage to be dealt to the player...

oh so you want to target an unblockable creature... For unblockable, yes it is contradicting...

This makes me laugh. What if the unblocked blocked creature has venemous breath? LOL. I can see judges being called all day.

I was explaining to scotty...

For the unblockable creature, idk the ruling but i think, it will not deal damage except if it has trample...

But the card says it works on unblockable creatures. Crazy ass cards!

The only 2 rulings from gatherer.

04/10/2004 If the ability is used on a creature with Trample, the damage still comes through.
04/10/2004 This ability will trigger any creature's "whenever this becomes blocked" ability.

How would you block an unblockable creature though?!?!

I think it would block through the ability, where as the hang up people are having is the actual physical action of creature blocking creature that we are use to.

I Love that card so much.

Anyway, for those of you who are having trouble picturing it, the trap runner simple leads the creature astray and then the creature spends as much time trying to catch the traprunner as a normal creature would spend trying to attack a player, thus the creature effectivily was "blocked" even though it is "unblockable"
