If I attack with a manifested (face down) card and my opponent declares blockers, is priority then passed to me so I can turn it face up for its mana cost, or must I turn it up after declaring attackers?

Are you just asking about whether you get priority during Declare Blockers or is there something specific about Manifest you want to know?– murgatroid99 ♦Commented Jan 24, 2015 at 6:28

To manifest a card is to put it into play face down; flipping it up is simply called turning it face up.– CascabelCommented Jan 24, 2015 at 7:02

@Jefromi The word "flip" means something totally different. See all of these cards from Kamigawa Block.– RainboltCommented Jan 26, 2015 at 20:10

@Rainbolt Okay, I suppose I should have said "turning it face up is called turning it face up" - the point was that it's not called manifesting it.– CascabelCommented Jan 26, 2015 at 20:25

Yes, you get priority during the Declare Blockers step. Rule 509 describes how the Declare Blockers step progresses, and rule 509.5 says
Fifth, the active player gets priority. Players may cast spells and activate abilities.
You can turn a manifested card face up any time you have priority, so that includes during the Declare Blockers phase. Rule 701.31b says
Any time you have priority, you may turn a manifested permanent you control face up. This is a special action that doesn't use the stack (see rule 115.2b). To do this, show all players that the card representing that permanent is a creature card and what its mana cost is, pay that cost, then turn the permanent face up.
