Found this on another magic site:
Q: I have Lone Wolf equipped with Fireshrieker so it has Double Strike.
If it is blocked and the creature blocking it is destroyed in the first
strike combat damage step, can I have the Lone Wolf deal its normal
combat damage to the defending player.
A: No. It does not matter that Lone Wolf has the ability where it can
assign its combat damage to the defending player instead of the
creatures blocking it, if there are not blocking creatures still in
play when combat damage would be assigned then the attacking creature
will not deal any combat damage.
Is this because when you choose who the damage is assigned to, you
can't split up the double strike damage? Its either all to the player
or all to the creature.
Is this the same for trample? If I block a 300/300 trampler with a 1/1
and then unsummon my 1/1 will I take no damge?
If not, whats the difference?
Thanks.
Phil.
