About Monstruous Step
Monstruous Step, Sorcery, designed by Chris Seaman first released in April 2020 in the set Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of $ 0.81.
Monstrous Step is particularly beneficial in aggressive green decks that focus on buffing creatures and overwhelming opponents quickly, especially in formats where combat tricks can turn the tide of battle. It synergizes well with decks that utilize creatures with trample or those that can capitalize on a sudden increase in power, making it a good fit for ramp or midrange strategies. While there are certainly stronger options for creature buffs, such as Giant Growth for instant speed or Overrun for a game-ending boost, Monstrous Step's ability to force a block can be strategically advantageous. Overall, it can see play in casual or specific builds but may be outclassed in more competitive environments.
Rules
04/17/2020
Creatures other than the second target creature may still block the first target creature if able.
04/17/2020
If a creature is required to block a creature with menace, another creature must also block that creature if able. If none can, the creature that’s required to block can block another creature or not block at all.
04/17/2020
If the second target creature can’t block the first target creature for any reason (such as being tapped), then it doesn’t block. If there’s a cost associated with having it block the creature, the player isn’t forced to pay that cost, so it doesn’t have to block in that case either. That creature is free to block another creature or to not block at all.
