Title: {Master Warcraft}
Post by: Raven316 on March 15, 2012, 08:20:54 PM
I am not sure I understand this card completely even though it seem to be straight forward. Ok let say an opponent declares an attack I then cast {Master Warcraft} does that mean I take over his attack phase and have the choice not to attack myself or attack with no creatures is this correct?

Yes you control the attack phase. You can declare no attacking creatures or any number you chose.

Combat Phase with ALWAYS happen, even if there are no creatures.  Now, if you cast it anytime before the Declare Attackers Step (which you have to) then you decide which creatures attack and block, regardless of whose turn it is.  You can decide zero creatures for either if you want.

Can Warcraft allow creatures to go unblocked? Even if they could be?

You can do whatever you want, you're the master, provided you follow all restrictions. You can't use it to have a {Lure}d attack unblocked. All choices must still be legal, other than that you're tha boss!

If you're refering to {Lure}'s 3rd ruling, it just means that having Lure on a creature does not allow a creature who can't block (e.g. {Bloodghast}) to block.

You only get to decide which creatures attack and block.  The attacking player still decides whether attacking creatures are attacking the player or any planewalkers that player controls.

which means the active player can nullify your attack sequence? Or are u referring to a case if there is a planeswalker involved only?

Only if a planewalker is there.  You can't have creatures attack a non-existent planeswalker.

if you decide to attack a player with a creature and it's not your turn the active player can decide that creatures isn't attacking?

Say it your opponents turn. You have two Planeswalkers in play (lucky!). You play Warcraft and have two of their creatures attack you. That opponent gets to choose whether those creatures attack you or either one of your planeswalkers. They make that choice, but they cant otherwise stop the creatures from attacking.
