See Challenge # 119.

Provoke hasn't been red, but always seemed to be going for a "fight" flavour. The "can't block" interpretation feels natural in red...?

by Link:

I like this. I think I would word the ability "Target creature blocks this turn if able. That creature can't block target attacking creature this turn."

by Jay:

When does "and can't block a different creature" come into play? Just against two-headed defenders?

by Jack V:

I meant, it blocks this if it can, but if it can't block this, it can't block anything else either. Imagine a goblin furiously leaping in the air at the sprite, letting a 5/5 crash through for damage behind it :) Is the wording wrong?

by Alex:

Oh, hee. I hadn't quite realised that was what this would do. But no, the wording looks accurate to me.

by Jack V:

Thank you! Although it should probably be intuitive AND correct, if it wasn't obvious to you and Jay, it probably needs to be clearer, even though I thought it was obvious from the flavour what it was for.
