Whenever one or more creatures block, flip a coin. If you win the flip, each blocking creature is sacrificed by its controller. If you lose the flip, each blocked creature is sacrificed by its controller.
Official rulings
- Tide of War’s controller always flips the coin. This means that you want to win the flip when you’re attacking but lose the flip when you’re defending. (2004-12-01)
- Even if the blockers are sacrificed, any attackers that were blocked are still considered blocked. (2004-12-01)
- Tide of War’s ability triggers only once each combat and only if at least one blocker is declared. The effect does nothing to unblocked attacking creatures. (2004-12-01)
