Cast this spell only during your declare attackers step.
This turn, instead of declaring blockers, each defending player chooses any number of creatures they control and divides them into a number of piles equal to the number of attacking creatures for whom that player is the defending player. Creatures those players control that can block additional creatures may likewise be put into additional piles. Assign each pile to a different one of those attacking creatures at random. Each creature in a pile that can block the creature that pile is assigned to does so. (Piles can be empty.)

Where it came from
Camouflage was released in 1993 as part of Limited Edition Alpha, the inaugural set for Magic: The Gathering. Created by Richard Garfield and published by Wizards of the Coast, the game emerged from the intersection of hobby gaming culture and a desire for a portable, evolving card game experience. This specific card was designed as an uncommon instant, intended to introduce complex bluffing mechanics that challenged players' perceptions of board states and combat interactions.
The artwork for the card was provided by Jesper Myrfors, who served as the original art director for Magic: The Gathering. Myrfors' aesthetic, characterized by an evocative and somewhat surreal fantasy style, helped define the visual identity of the early game. His illustration for Camouflage was intended to mirror the abstract nature of the card's effect, which hides creatures from the opponent's view during combat. At the time of release, the card was received as a novel, if mechanically unconventional, tool for defensive strategy within the fledgling game's ruleset.
