Second entry for Challenge # 014.
Not entirely clear whether "that creature" refers to the attacking creature (the target) or the creature you brought in from your hand. I can't see an easy way to disambiguate them either...
Good question. Well, usually it won't matter, since they'll be dealing damage to each other, so it might as well say "by those creatures this turn" :)
Now it's making me think of alternatives; perhaps it should straight-up prevent damage to just your creature, or put the creature into play temporarily, and perhaps return it to your hand?
Oh, it'd also be good for this to say "target creature [that's] attacking you", otherwise you get oddness with blocking things outside of combat, or blocking your own creatures, or suchlike.
How's this wording?
Ugh, wait... I wanted you to be able to block for other people, but this way you can still block your own creatures...
Hm. I wonder if the rules mind having blocking creatures controlled by someone other than defending player. Probably not. In which case you could probably add "Cast ~ only if it's not your turn" and be sorted.
Would "...blocking an attacking creature target opponent controls"? That works slightly differently, but may be clear??
Edited wording.
That looks good to me.
