if i'm attacking with a creature and they block it with a courser of kruphix and i valorous stance it does my attack still go through?

I'm assuming you cast Valorous Stance on your own creature to make it indestructible, because Courser of Kruphix is not a valid target for the second mode of Valorous Stance.

And if you're asking whether the creature you're attacking with would deal damage to your opponent, the answer is no. All indestructible does is make it so a creature a) cannot be destroyed by effects that say to destroy it, and b) cannot be killed by lethal damage. Your creature is still blocked by Courser of Kruphix and deals it's damage to the Courser as normal.

sonnet666, the Courser is a legal target. It has a toughness of 4.

To answer the question with some clarification, when a creature is declared as blocked, it and its blocker will deal all of their damage to each other, unless the attacker has trample. The only way you can get damage through after a creature is blocked is to give it trample so it will have all damage past lethal go over, which in this case would be all of it since 0 damage would need to be applied to the defending creature because it's not there anymore.

@user:LiveForChaos Thanks for clearing that up for me.

@user:sonnet666 You can totally destroy a Courser with Valorous. He has 4 toughness lol.

I read it as power 4, my mistake.
