Does Trample Go Over Protection in MTG?
Actually, trample totally works over protection because MTG rules say you just need to assign enough damage to the protector as if it would deal damage, then the rest can pound the player. Easy peasy.

Yep, trample damage does indeed go over protection in MTG. Here's the rule in a nutshell: if a creature with trample attacks and is blocked by a creature with protection (from whatever the attacking creature is), you only have to assign what would be lethal damage to the blocker (considering the protection), and the rest spills over to the player or planeswalker being attacked. So, if your trampling creature is a behemoth and the blocker is just a little critter with protection from green, you can still stomp over it to hit your opponent!
Protection stops direct damage and effects, but trample is like water flowing around a rock - it goes right past if there鈥檚 enough force (damage) to carry it over!
