Declare Blockers and assigning damage

Asked by john_95 9 years ago

Lets say I attack with Polukranos, World Eater and my opponent blocks with Llanowar Elves , Serra Angel and Child of Night . Does the defending player puts the defenders in an order and I have to kill the 1st one in order to hit the second or can I assign the 5 damage wherever I want?

here is the rule 509.2. Second, for each attacking creature that's become blocked, the active player announces that creature's damage assignment order, which consists of the creatures blocking it in an order of that player's choice. (During the combat damage step, an attacking creature can't assign combat damage to a creature that's blocking it unless each creature ahead of that blocking creature in its order is assigned lethal damage.) This turn-based action doesn't use the stack.

"Active player" means "the player whose turn it is". The attacking player decides the damage assigment order, not the defending player.
