Blocking multiple creatures with first strike
Asked by TheDwarvenAxe 8 years ago
Hi guys and gals. MY friend and I were playing and faced this situation.
He's got four life and one 1/1 creature enchanted by Brave the Sands.
I attack him with two creatures, one 8/10 with Battle Mastery and a 4/4.
Does he blocks both? First strike kills His 1/1 and The 4/4 hits His face?
Thanks in advance for The help!

No, once a creature becomes blocked, which both the attacking creatures have been, they can only deal combat damage to that creature even if it dies. If the creatures had trample then damage would go through.
510.1c. A blocked creature assigns its combat damage to the creatures blocking it. If no creatures are currently blocking it (if, for example, they were destroyed or removed from combat), it assigns no combat damage.
In the ( ) above its says destroyed, which has happened due to the first strike.
