So I thought I would get into my magic ways again and play some MTG. I downloaded the demo through steam and am finding it pretty frustrating.
Basically the part I am having problems with in the battle phase:
1) Opponent declares attacker
2) I declare blocker
Phase ends before I can play something like Giant growth on the critter to make sure I win the fight. My critter dies, instant goes unplayed.
This is pretty frustrating. How do I stop at the phase before damage dealing is dealt in the combat phase (after blockers are declared ... unless the rules have changed, I should still be able to play an instant)?
Based on what I remember, the phases should be:
Untap, upkeep, draw a card, first main phase, combat phase, second main phase, end phase. The combat phase is broken up into declare attackers, declare blockers, chance of instances, deal damage.

You gotta be quick on the draw and wide awake.
