Grim Roustabout   Creature- Skeleton Warrior (C) Unleash You may have this creature enter the battlefield with a +1/+1 counter on it. It can't block as long as it has a +1/+1 counter on it.
: Regenerate Grim Rousabout. 1/1 thanks to mtgs. Strong entry into the YMTC forum's "narrowest mechanic" competition.

Well that's underwhelming.
You fell victim to one of the classic blunders - The most famous of which is "never get involved in an thread with GM_Champion" - but only slightly less well-known is this: "Never go in against AzureShade when card design is on the line!

can he block if he has a +1/+1 counter from a non-unleash origination?

I'm guessing no, actually.

No. If he has a +1/+1 counter, he can't block.

Hopefully they can take this mechanic to some interesting levels, such being able to remove the +1/+1 counter for a good effect and allow your creature to block again. If there are some good cards that remove +1/+1 counters for profit, then we could see a Jund deck utilizing Blessings of Nature  and the like.
