Trample VS Fog Bank
Fog Bank says "Prevent All Combat Damage that would be dealt to Fog Bang or by Fog Bank" However, when it blocks a creature with trample, the trample still affects me. Even though trample is supposed to be remained of combat damage, which is prevented. So what gives. is this a bug?

Only enough damage to kill the blocker is actually assigned to the blocker. The rest is still assigned to the player.

yeah, thats what i read. I think is is wrong, but it seems that's the way the magic rules for trample are :(.

Don't ask me. There are so many errors in this game it is unbelivable.

It's not an error. Read the example below.

"702.18b The controller of an attacking creature with trample first assigns damage to the creature(s) blocking it. Once all those blocking creatures are assigned lethal damage, any remaining damage is assigned as its controller chooses among those blocking creatures and the player or planeswalker the creature is attacking. When checking for assigned lethal damage, take into account damage already marked on the creature and damage from other creatures that’s being assigned during the same combat damage step, but not any abilities or effects that might change the amount of damage that’s actually dealt. The attacking creature’s controller need not assign lethal damage to all those blocking creatures but in that case can’t assign any damage to the player or planeswalker it’s attacking.


Example:
A 6/6 green creature with trample is blocked by a 2/2 creature with protection from green. The attacking creature’s controller must assign at least 2 damage to the blocker, even though that damage will be prevented by the blocker’s protection ability. The attacking creature’s controller can divide the rest of the damage as he or she chooses between the blocking creature and the defending player."
