Trample and the invisible blocker
Asked by kellerke83 7 years ago
I know the strange rule where if an opponent declares attackers and I declare blockers then sacrifice the creature that i was blocking with the damage is still considered blocked. Or if in a similar situation I declare blockers and the creature is destroyed the damage is also still blocked. However I'm curious how the trample ability would interact in this situation for example if I am attacking with a 4-4 with trample and my opponent blocks with a 4-3 then before damage is dealt I play Gideon's Reproach and destroy his blocker how will damage then be dealt and please site rules if you don't mind.

4 damage will be dealt to the opponent.
"702.19c. If an attacking creature with trample is blocked, but there are no creatures blocking it when damage is assigned, all its damage is assigned to the player or planeswalker it's attacking."
