brevity
May 7, 2012 at 3:26 comment added Circeus @AlexP thanks... I misunderstood the "Once all those blocking creatures are assigned lethal damage" part and completely missed the "ignore abilities" bit. So I got confused by the nuance of damage assigned vs. dealt. Were it not for that I would have gotten it right. Actually isn't "ignore all abilities that might modify the damage after it is assigned when determining if a blocking creature has been dealt lethal damage" using "dealt" incorrectly? (if I'm reading 510.1c right)
May 7, 2012 at 3:16 comment added Alex P @Circeus It's the opposite. "You can ignore all abilities that might modify the damage after it is assigned when determining if a blocking creature has been dealt lethal damage, because the rules specifically tell you to ignore abilities and effects that might change the amount of damage after it is assigned." A simplified way to think of it is that the game rules say that prevention effects alter damage as its actually dealt, not when it is assigned.
