About Boros Battleshaper

Boros Battleshaper, Creature — minotaur soldier, designed by Zoltan Boros first released in May, 2013 in the set Dragon's Maze. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 1.96.

This Boros Battleshaper card would fit well in a deck focused on controlling combat situations and dictating how your opponent's creatures can attack or block. It could be particularly effective in a deck that aims to overwhelm the opponent with a strong offense while limiting their defensive options. However, there are other cards like Aurelia, the Warleader or Gisela, Blade of Goldnight that offer similar effects with additional benefits, making them potentially better choices depending on the specific strategy of the deck. Boros Battleshaper could still see play in certain decks that value its unique ability to manipulate combat situations effectively.

Rules

04/15/13

A creature forced to block does so only if it’s able to do so as blockers are declared. If, at that time, the creature is tapped, is affected by a spell or ability that says it can’t block, or no creatures are attacking its controller or a planeswalker controlled by that player, then it doesn’t block. If there’s a cost associated with having the creature block, its controller isn’t forced to pay that cost, so it doesn’t block in that case either.

04/15/13

The controller of each creature chooses which player or planeswalker it attacks or which attacking creature it blocks, as appropriate.

04/15/13

You may choose zero targets for either or both instances of “up to one target creature.”
