What happens? For example if I block a 4/3 {Lotleth Troll} with a {Thalia, Gaurdian of Thraben} equipped with a {Silver Inlaid Dagger}. I was surprised coming across this, because I had never come across it before! Does the Troll still deal damage? Or dies it just "not die"?
Regerate is stored up and used when the creature should die.
When it is used it "removes the damage dealt to the creature, taps it and removes it from combat"
So, if you kill it with first strike, it would just not die, but also it wouldn't get to do any damage.
First strike damage step is prior to damage step (regular)
Thalia would kill the troll before the troll would be able to deal any damage to her. It would regenerate if you pay for it and be tapped.

Probably the best way you could possibly word it. Well said.
I miss the gavels :P
I was under the impression that you couldn't regenerate from a {tragic slip} cause its not damage...

Well, -1-1 whether its a counter, or until EOT the creature is put into the graveyard due to having 0 toughness. You can regenerate, but it'd be a waste. When a creature regenerates, it's not put Into the graveyard, all damage "falls off" and the creature is tapped.
So yes, if the toughness is 0 it goes to the gy.
That's what I thought. That's why {tragic slip} is sooo good.
