Bug: Lost to a trample creature with deathtouch after blocking with more creatures than the enemy's creature's power
I just lost after being attacked by a 63/63 trample/deathtouch creature even though I blocked with 2 40/40 creatures.
The only possible conclusion I can come up with is that the 63/63 creature hit my first creature, kill it, dealt the extra damage to me, then hit the second creature and dealt extra damage again.
I must precise that this creature did NOT have double strike and visually hit my 2 creatures in a row and THEN hit me.
Expected behavior :
When blocking a creature that doesn't have first or double strike with 2 creature whose power and endurance are superior to that of the attacking creature, I would expect all damages to be blocked appropriately.

Not a hug. The attacking creature had trample and DEATHTOUCH. This combination allows it to only assign 1 damage per blocker to trample over, regardless of their combined toughness. Because any nonzero amount of damage from a source with deathtouch is lethal, and that is factored in when assigning combat damage.
702.2c Any nonzero amount of combat damage assigned to a creature by a source with deathtouch
is considered to be lethal damage for the purposes of determining if excess damage is being
dealt.
