My opponent declares no blockers, because it is unblockable. \nCan I sac the whispersilk cloak with Atog's ability in response? Does this give atog +2/+2 and wil my opponent take the extra damage??\n"}]}

Once blockers have been declared the active player (you) gets priority and you can eat the Cloak for extra damage. Since Atog was unblockable when it mattered no blockers were declared for it and it will make it through to your opponent regardless of whether or not it still has the Cloak.\n\nI should note, because it's relevant for rules sticklers and formal play, that you have to eat the Cloak "},{"attributes":{"italic":true},"insert":"during "},{"insert":"the declare blockers step. Once it moves to the combat damage step you won't have priority again until after damage has been assigned and eating the Cloak at that point is a waste.\n"}]}
