I am new to this website but have a question I am hoping somebody can answer for me.....My opponet played Rogues Passage land paying the mana to make target creature unblockable this turn. I cast Terrifying Presence Instant, stating "Prevent all combat damage that would be dealt by creatures other tan target creature this turn." In my unofficial opinion, I think that because I am not "Blocking" the target creature, rather preventing all combat damage this turn, that the terryifying presence prevents my opponents creature from dealing damage to me. Anybody know the official answer to this play? He says No because I cant block, I say yes because I am not blocking with a creature, rather preventing all damage this turn....Please solve this argument for us.
