Does damage carry through if a creature is blocked in MTG?
In the world of MTG, if your creature gets blocked, its damage doesn't carry through to the player, it just tussles with the blocker. Think of it like a fantasy battle showdown; the two creatures are too busy duking it out to bother the player. However, if your creature has trample, that's when things get spicy. Trample allows excess damage (beyond what's needed to destroy the blocker) to spill over onto the player.

Nope, damage doesn't carry over to the player. It's like hitting a wall; everything stops there unless your creature has trample. That's when the wall gets knocked down and some of the damage goes through!
Actually, I think the real fun starts when creatures start blocking. No direct player damage unless you've got a creature with trample. Then watch out, because it's hammer time for the opponent!
