My friend has a scheme card that negates 1 damage from a source. So how does combine with trample? Here is what i think just want to double check.
5/5 trample attacks. 2/2 with an ability negate 1 damage from a source. I spend enough power to kill it (2) and hit them for 3. Then he lives cause of his ability.
So could i instead assign 3 damage to said 2/2 to kill it taking in account for its ability?
Since I don't know if Schemes can be linked:
{Nothing Can Stop Me Now} (0)
Ongoing Scheme
(An ongoing scheme remains face up until it's abandoned.)
If a source an opponent controls would deal damage to you, prevent 1 of that damage.
At the beginning of each end step, if you've been dealt 5 or more damage this turn, abandon this scheme.
This scheme only prevents damage to him, not to his bear ('bear' being the term for a generic 2/2).
However, if you want, you can decide to put all 5 damage on the bear and none to him. You just need a minimum of 2.
thats the scheme. And i knew it was to him however it brought up that question to my mind.
Thank you Jester
