Combat rules answer
My 4/4 double strike trample was blocked by a 2/2 — how much gets through?
Answer
Six damage gets through, and your 4/4 takes no damage. The engine leaves the defender at 14 life, the blocker in its owner's graveyard, and the attacker on the battlefield with 0 damage marked.
Why
The attacking 4/4 has double strike and trample, while the blocker is only a 2/2.
The resolved board shows 6 total life lost, the blocker in the graveyard, and the attacker still in play without marked damage.
