    I've culled through the Card Ideas thread to find what I think are some legitimate ideas. (Warning: you'll see a disproportionate number of my ideas in the first post.) You're welcome to post new block card ideas here or at the old forum. I found we were repeating ourselves sometimes.

    Jiujitsu
    Block. Silver Quality.
    Block Melee. Push Attacker Forward 2Fly. Turn to face attacker. unblockable
    @tolkien

    Blackout block
    Type: hybrid block/drawback

    Block melee 4+. You discard a random card.
    @tolkien

    @Vlamona

    Weird Block

    You can block cards with Unblockable; if you block a card with unblockable, push back 2 the attacker.

    I don't think you are the best person to determine the best card ideas, also I don't like the branching off of the thread.

    Also, there is a disproportionate amount of blocks made by you, not to suggest any bias or anything. How about only pointing out others' good blocks?

    Maybe I'll rename the thread. I'm totally biased. I mostly wanted my (decent) ideas in an easy place to see so I don't repeat mine or others ideas.

    Caught up to page 80 on the card ideas thread. I think some of these might be viable.

    Obvious block

    Handicap/block
    Block any 5+. Blocks in your hand are visible to opponents.

    Ball and chain
    Handicap/block
    Block any 6+ Keep
    Encumber 1
    @WexMajor

    Vicious Dodge
    Block Projectile/ Magic
    If this card blocks an attack deal 4 damage to each {characters in} adjacent squares. 4+
    Nevus

    Stalwart Block
    Block
    Block any, 3+. If the roll is 5 or above, this block gains Keep.
    Note: Inspired by Hold the Line! by @WexMajor - I guess that the two could be even combined.
    @Frostguard

    Shield Bash:
    Block Melee. Attacker takes 5 crushing damage. Slide Back the attacker 1. 2+
    4 damage. Slide Back 1. (this is buffed by bruiser and bash)
    Suggested as a Bronze+(4, C+) card.
    Attack, Block. Melee, Crushing.
    @timeracers

    Imperfect Block
    Block any. You discard a random card, then your opponent draws a card.
    @Goodwin

    War Cape
    Heavy Armor only
    Hybrid block/boost
    Block 6+
    Melee Frenzy 1

    Premeditated Block
    Bronze Quality
    Block any. 5+. Add 1 to the die roll for each card in hand.

  9. Is this supposed to deal damage to the blocker when it stops an attack?

    Yes, I should have said, 'you take 5 crushing damage.' cf. Jarring Block

    I just noticed that cushioning armor basically functions like a block with high damage attacks.
    I love cards that are usable but force decisions and can be risky.

    Something I wrote for an old April Fool's joke...

    Still, I never did dislike the repeatable Block mechanic I invented to make that Black Lotus parody work. To rework it a tad:

    =============
    Vigilant Interrupt
    Rare, Gold+
    Block (roll 3+)

    Block Any. Attach this card to yourself. Duration 1. At the start of each round, return this card to your hand.

    "Stay sharp. An ancient magic is gathering..." - Svitlana, Warden of the Forest
    =============

    I think I'm satisfied with the new level of obscure MTG parody alluded to in its title, hinted at in its flavor. $¦^ J
