If a 3/2 Creature is blocked by a 4/5 creature, which one dies in combat?
Asked by Arorsthrar 8 years ago
A Siege Rhino blocks my Forerunner of Slaughter which creature dies in combat? My opponent says his creature survives but my creature is attacking so it's the only one that deals damage right? He's a cheater help!

Every attacking and every blocking creature deals damage in the Combat Damage Step. The damage is dealt simultaneously. The Rhino has 3 marked damage and lives, the Forerunner has 4 marked damage and dies.
510.1. First, the active player announces how each attacking creature assigns its combat damage, then the defending player announces how each blocking creature assigns its combat damage. This turn-based action doesnt use the stack. A player assigns a creatures combat damage according to the following rules:
510.1a Each attacking creature and each blocking creature assigns combat damage equal to its power. Creatures that would assign 0 or less damage this way dont assign combat damage at all.
[...]
510.2. Second, all combat damage thats been assigned is dealt simultaneously. This turn-based action doesnt use the stack. No player has the chance to cast spells or activate abilities between the time combat damage is assigned and the time its dealt. [...]
I'm sorry, but I have to ask: You have been registered for a year and have a ton of uploaded decks, did you really just now have such a situation?

The above are right, but here is some advice for you:
Go find whoever taught you how combat works, and get your revenge.

Your opponent is right.
During combat the attacking creature will deal damage to the block creature at the same time the blocking creature deals damage to the attacking creature.
