Putting a +1/+1 counter on a creature with unleash that’s already blocking won’t remove it from combat. It will continue to block.
wotc15 Apr 2013
A creature with unleash can’t block if it has any +1/+1 counter on it, not just one put on it by the unleash ability.
wotc15 Apr 2013
You make the choice to have the creature with unleash enter the battlefield with a +1/+1 counter or not as it’s entering the battlefield. At that point, it’s too late for a player to respond to the creature spell by trying to counter it, for example.
wotc15 Apr 2013
The unleash ability applies no matter where the creature is entering the battlefield from.
