MTG Question

[binary010101]

I don't know if any of you play, but I have a rules question, and I don't know if any of you can help me with this.

If I attack with a 7/1 trample, and my opponent blocks with a 1/1 normal creature, does the trample damage (6 life) carry over to my opponent, even though my creature was killed?

Thanks in advance!

Magic the Gathering, yes? I've played a few times, but I'm not hardcore like some of my relatives. It's a staple at our family reunions. I could try to contact one of them or you could ask the fine people at Yahoo Answers or Cha Cha.

Magic the Gathering, yes? <SNIP>

You are correct in your assumption.

Yes the 6 damage would carry over, one way it wouldn't would be if the 1/1 had first strike.

He said normal creature, not first strike...

I hope I could pwn all of you at MtG

The above posters are correct, the 6 damage would carry over, the exception being if the blocker had first strike or double strike. Also, if you're interested in the game, the best forum for it is mtgsalvation.
