Trample and blocking

Asked by Sismir 8 years ago

I block a 6/6 with trample, i block it with Cromat and use The ability in The top, do i still get trample damage or does The 6/6 die before dealing damage?

As long as you activate Cromat's ability between the declare blockers step and the combat step then the 6/6 would die before doing any damage to you or Cromat

but it does say, destroy target creature blocking or blocked by, does that not mean it has to be assigned as a blocker first?
