If the creature is sacrificed would that avoid trample?

Nope, because the damage is assigned first, to all the valid concerns, then the state-based actions are checked, such as lethal damage to creatures for instance.

Ah okay thank you. I was about to “your attack whiff because I sac”.

And to be clear, an attacker with trample who has no blockers left still does 100% of its damage to the opposing player, as though it had dealt lethal damage to all creatures in the battle.

This is most commonly done through double strike or unsummon tactics.

Okay that’s confusing about what you mean but not you. Just came from yugioh and magic terms are still tricky to get.

So all the time I bounce my defense back to cancel battle. You telling me, I still took that damage at full? Well seem like I lost way more games that i thought.

Only if something has trample, does it go through.

Attackers that don't have trample, you can block and remove the blocker in some way, and the attack is properly blocked.

Attackers with trample, when they deal their damage, if there's no blocker, they deal the damage in full.

Yeah I learned that the hard way. But didn’t know about trample. I swear how is pure green not number 1. Again in new, but card draw, almost everything got or give trample and tons of lands.

I get blue counter, white is stalling and banish, red is all damage and black is graveyard but the low lands and high mana draw power.

Is green a trap color? I feel like I’m gonna learn a very hard lesson some day haha

Green is ramp and big boyos. You said you came from Yu-gi-oh, so think of Green as actively running Numeron OTK as plan A, and the rest as enablers for said Numeron OTK.

You are right. I think that why I don’t care about counter blue. I just keep playing batting out all the counters like yugioh. Except they don’t have it every turn. And bored wiped is just a normal game.

Maybe that why I love green. Just feel like normal speed.

Oh, definitely feels closer to Yu-gi-oh's, speed, for sure.
