Chump Block

A Chump Block is a situation where a player blocks a powerful creature with a much weaker creature, preventing them from losing a major advantage by sacrificing a small advantage, such as a weak creature.

The following is an example of a chump block;
 * A Romanoff Kaiser NEX, the Super Enlightened attacks an opponent which would result in all his shields broke and would easily make him lose the game, as even if Romanoff Kaiser NEX gets removed by a Shield Trigger, Another Creature may come in and give the opponent the final blow, making him lose the game. In this situation, the opponent blocks the Romanoff Kaiser NEX with a Webius, the Patroller, a 1000 power blocker with no significant advantage. The Webius is destroyed and the Romanoff Kaiser NEX fails to break any Shields and thus prolonging his survival.

This is generally a last-ditch attempt to prevent a loss or in order to buy time for something else, such as to summon a more powerful creature later on, (For example, sacrificing small Blockers in order to buy time to summon something such as Alcadeias, Lord of Spirits) Or to trigger a put-into-graveyard effect such as Jil Warka, Time Guardian's powerful creature-tapping ability.

There are currently several methods to circumvent this. They include;
 * The ability to be not blocked by weaker creatures or any creature at all
 * Destroying blockers before they can block
 * Breaking of one Shields or untapping when the creature in question is blocked.
