Trample problem
I blocked a Bloated Contaminator that was also given deathtouch (so 4/4 with trample and DT) with a vorinclex (6/6 with trample). The 4/4 was able to still trample through and damage me. I don’t think that should be possible so I’m reporting it as a bug. Trample is defined as “excess damage can be assigned…” but the 6/6 should not have had any excess damage. Any thoughts?

I had a similar issue with contaminator. Although it didn't do any damage to me, simply because it had trample, it applied a stack of Toxic to me. Toxic rush is already broken game balance-wise, it doesn't need to be broken in the buggy literal way too.

Yeah that's just how deathtouch and trample works. Deathtouch means 1 is lethal damage, so the rest is excess and tramples.

I recently had the same problem and I’m ******* mad! I had a 22/22 creature that blocked a 11/12 creature with trample! And somehow his creature trampled over mine and ended the game

Trample + deathtouch is a combination, that allows for the attacking creature to only have to assign 1 point of damage to every blocker each in order to trample over. Because with deathtouch, a single point of damage is lethal. That is taken into account for damage assignment as well.
