So this situation happened during a match and I was wondering if it was a legal move or not:
Say you have a dryad arbor without summoning sickness and an inkmoth nexus. A 2/2 creature is attacking you. Can you block with the dryad arbor, tap it for mana, activate inkmoth nexus and then block with inkmoth nexxus as well during your block phase? Hence trading your two 1/1 with the 2/2 creature attacking you?
No. All blockers are declared at one time. You can block with the Dryad Arbor while the Inkmoth Nexus is still unanimated, or you can tap it for mana and then animate the Nexus to use as a blocker. Given that they are never both untapped creatures at the same time, you can't block with both.
No. All blockers must be declared simultaneously. If you tap a manland for mana before you declare blockers, it cannot block, and if you tap it after you block, it can't animate any other blockers.

Thank you in advance!
