[M10] General Discussion on Rules Changes

[Pinder]

This is probably messy under the old rules as well...

Attacker has:
Skyshroud Behemoth 10/10
Force of Nature 8/8 Trample

Defender has:
Two-Headed Giant of Foriys 4/4
Two-Headed Dragon 4/4 Flyer
Benalish Hero 1/1 Banding

Attacker swings with both creatures.
Defender blocks Force of Nature with all 3 creatures (attacker orders Hero,Giant,Dragon)
Defender blocks Behemoth with Giant & Dragon (attacker orders Giant, Dragon)

How much trample damage can the attacker get through?

This question becomes extra complicated when we put the attackers on one train leaving Boston at 3:45pm at 40mph, and the blockers on a train from New York to Boston leaving at 2:30 pm and traveling at 60mph.

Why should it be able to protect the other blockers? Fuck man, you threw a bunch of Squirrels in front of a Krosan Tusker, the fuck did you reckon would happen?

If I were a Krosan Tusker, and I'm not, but if I were, and I got blocked by a shit ton of Squirrels, why the fuck would I waste my time beating up the one wearing Slagwurm Armor while the rest climb all up on my shit? Fuck that, I'd stomp six of those fuckers back into the asshole of the earth until the rest finally tear me down.

I was making the assumption that an increase in toughness implied an increase in power, and therefore the Tusker would have to deal with the big squirrel first because it posed more of a threat. But when you put it that way, it does sound patently ridiculous.

edit - Although in that case, the Tusker would probably just choose to deal with the armored Squirrel last (you know, because the attacking player gets to decide the order of the blockers), so in order for your example to work there would have to be a Loenin Shikari in the back throwing the Slagwurn Armor onto squirrels at breakneck speeds.

Intuititve or not, though, I still want the freedom to assign damage however the fuck I want.
