Erithizon's controller controls the triggered ability, but their opponent chooses the target. [DeLaney 2002/04/08]
This interacts in an odd way with Standard Bearer (and other Flagbearer cards). The result is that the Flagbearer ability does not apply to Erithizon's target.

Enchant Creature	1GG (3)	Mercadian Masques (Uncommon)
All creatures able to block enchanted creature do so if able.

Lure does not give a creature the ability to block the Lured creature, it just forces those creatures which are already able to block the Lured creature to do so. [D'Angelo 1994/06/01]
Opponent does not have to power special effects in an attempt to make all creatures block the Lured creature. For example, you do not need to power a Goblin Balloon Brigade to block a flying creature with Lure, but if you do power it, the Brigade must block. [bethmo 1994/08/01] More specifically, even a cost of zero mana is an optional cost you can choose not to pay. [WotC Rules Team 2000/02/16]
