does trample go thru protection?
as long as the controler of the creature with trample has assigend leathal damage to that creature first, yes. the leathal damage to that creature will then be prevented but thats indipendant of the damage assignment.
C what confused me is that the trample creature would have to deal damage to that creature. If the creature has protection from the trample creature, the trample creature can't deal damage to the creature yet target it. You can't have the trample creature deal damage to the creature because the blocker has protection thus no damage is dealt. But since YOU assign the damage, that makes some since. However i like the way my group has been playing.
in the newest rules for protection the damage is actualy deal and is the prevented. not a big diffrence but it can be in some cornercased situations.
