I’d like to request an optional confirmation setting for the Declare Blockers step.
NeoForge already has a useful safeguard in some phases—for example, if I try to leave Main Phase 1 while I still have available mana, it may ask whether I’m sure I want to move on. I’d love to see a similar option for blocking.
The proposed setting could be something like:
“Confirm before skipping Declare Blockers” — On / Off
When enabled, if I am about to advance past the Declare Blockers step without assigning any blockers, NeoForge would display a confirmation such as:
“You have not declared any blockers. Are you sure you want to continue?”
Options could be:
- Continue without blocking
- Return to Declare Blockers
This would be especially helpful in board states with many triggered abilities and confirmation clicks.
For example, with decks that generate a lot of life-gain, +1/+1 counter, token, or other triggers, I may have 10–15 consecutive “OK” prompts to work through. After clicking through that many prompts, it becomes very easy to continue clicking automatically and accidentally advance past the point where blockers can be declared.
I’ve made that mistake more than once, and because missing the blocking step can completely change the outcome of a combat—or even the game—it would be very helpful to have an optional safeguard.
I would recommend making it a user-selectable setting rather than mandatory, so experienced players who prefer faster gameplay can leave it disabled while players who want the extra protection can turn it on.
Thanks for considering it.
