This question sort of is 2 in 1.  If (lets say) at 10/6 with trample attacks.  Can you have more than 1 creature block it?

If you may have a number of creatures block this 10/6 with trample, does the trample damage add up from each creature you blocked with?

In other words, if i blocked with two 4/4's, would it do 6 trample, (10-4) or 12 trample, (10-4)+(10-4).

This might sound confusing, but I would really like an answer to this.

Thanks

Yes, you can have more than one creature block another creature. The damage does not add up as you explain it, however; you can only assign an amount of damage total equal to the power of your attacking creature. In your case, you can choose to deal 4 damage to each creature, and then 2 damage to your opponent. Your creature and their creatures would all die. Note that you cannot assign any damage to your opponent until each blocking creature has been dealt lethal damage.
