Lure is one of those cards players keep asking about. Here is, in plain words, what its official text says, the rulings published by Wizards of the Coast, and the combos players actually run.
01
Official card text
Enchant creature All creatures able to block enchanted creature do so.
How it works : Lure
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
Lure doesn’t give any creatures the ability to block the target creature. It just forces those creatures that are already able to block the creature to do so.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
As blockers are declared, any creature that’s tapped or affected by a spell or ability that says it can’t block doesn’t block. If there’s a cost associated with having the creature block, no player is forced to pay that cost, so it doesn’t block if that cost isn’t paid.
No other card is named in this ruling.
