Gameplay

Creature — Human Assassin

Deathtouch Unleash (You may have this creature enter with a +1/+1 counter on it. It can't block as long as it has a +1/+1 counter on it.)

As the bounty on Massacre Girl rose, so did the number of imitators.

Putting a +1/+1 counter on a creature with unleash that’s already blocking won’t remove it from combat. It will continue to block.

2013-04-15wotc

You make the choice to have the creature with unleash enter the battlefield with a +1/+1 counter or not as it’s entering the battlefield. At that point, it’s too late for a player to respond to the creature spell by trying to counter it, for example.

2013-04-15wotc

A creature with unleash can’t block if it has any +1/+1 counter on it, not just one put on it by the unleash ability.
