About Choking Vines

Choking Vines, Instant, designed by Ted Naifeh first released in June 1997 in the set Weatherlight. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of C$ 0.49.

A deck that focuses on controlling the board and dealing incremental damage to creatures would benefit from including Choking Vines, as it can disrupt combat strategies and weaken attacking creatures. While Choking Vines offers utility in certain situations, there may be better options such as removal spells like Lightning Bolt or Path to Exile that provide more immediate and versatile solutions to threats. Whether Choking Vines sees play would depend on the specific meta and strategy of the deck, but it could be a situational inclusion in decks looking for a unique combat trick.

Rules

04/01/2008

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.

04/01/2008

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.

10/04/2004

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.
