Text(MM+errata):{X}{R}: Creatures can't block this turn unless their

cost is paid as blockers are declared.) [Oracle 1999/11/01]
The ability only applies to blocks declared after it resolves. It will not
add costs to any blockers already announced. [DeLaney 1999/10/17]
You can choose X=0. This doesn't have an effect most of the time, but it
does mean that creatures cannot block unless the controller chooses to
pay the cost (a cost of zero is not automatically paid). You can use
this to make your creatures unable to block a Lured attacker.
