Melee 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.
Official card text
Cast this spell only during combat on your turn before blockers are declared. You choose which creatures block this combat and how those creatures block. Whenever a creature attacks and isn't blocked this combat, untap it and remove it from combat.
How it works : Melee
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
If a turn has multiple combat phases, this spell can be cast during any of them as long as it's before the beginning of that phase's Declare Blockers Step.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
An ability that triggers when something "attacks and isn't blocked" triggers in the declare blockers step after blockers are declared if (1) that creature is attacking and (2) no creatures are declared to block it. It will trigger even if that creature was put onto the battlefield attacking rather than having been declared as an attacker in the declare attackers step.
No other card is named in this ruling.
