Deck tag: Lure

What is a lure effect in Magic?

• Lure
• Nemesis Mask
• Ochran Assassin

Lure effects force creatures to block a particular attacker if able. This can pull an opponent's entire defense onto one creature and leave the rest of your attackers free to get through.

Tempting Licid can repeatedly grant the effect, while Taunting Elf carries it naturally on a small creature. Lure effects become especially dangerous alongside deathtouch, since one attacker can potentially assign lethal damage across several forced blockers.
