Oracle Text

(An ongoing scheme remains face up until it's abandoned.)

Whenever a creature attacks and isn't blocked, if you're the defending player, create a 0/1 green Plant creature token that's blocking that creature.

When four or more creatures attack you, abandon this scheme at end of combat.

You’re the defending player if a creature is attacking you or a planeswalker you control.

6/15/2010·wotc

The Plant token blocks the attacking creature even if the block couldn’t legally be declared (for example, if the attacking creature has flying).

6/15/2010·wotc

Putting a blocking creature onto the battlefield doesn’t trigger “Whenever a creature blocks” abilities. It also won’t check blocking restrictions, costs, or requirements.
