So my opponent swings for 7 trample. I've got {Gisela, Blade of Goldnight} on the field, can't block with her though. I block with three 0/1's. Do I die?
that depends on how much life you have left. your opponent can assign 4 damage to you.
I think you'd take 2 damage (half of the 4 because of Gisela's ability)

correct I was just stating how much damage was assigned not dealt. looks like you're dead then TBNL.

Does it change anything of the 7 damage came from 1 creature?
isn't that what your original question was asking?

Why would it change anything?

Not necessarily. I was just making sure that wouldn't change anything

My thinking was that the trample had to do lethal damage to carry over to the player, leaving 1 damage to me, which would be prevented. But I suppose leathal damage only needs to be assigned, not delt. Correct, scarsabrex?
7 power of trample incoming from one attacker. 3 1 toughness blockers intercept. the trampler assigns 1 to each blocker and 4 to you. gisela halves that to 2 you take 2 damage. you probably have a better chance of surviving if the 7 was split among multiple attackers.

Alright, darn. Oh well, Gisela's obscene anyway. Resolved 🔨

correct for the same reason you can trample over creatures with protection.
