Recently played a game where I blocked a 10/10 trample with a 2/1 deathtouch weenie. I had less than 10 health left and was fairly certain at the time that once combat damage was assigned to creatures (and his 10/10 died) the remaining 9 damage that WOULD'VE trampled over no longer existed since the source was dead. Thinking back on it I'm not so sure.
Does the trample damage go through even though the creature dies due to state-based effects? Does a creature source need to be surviving through the entire step to assign damage?
All damage is dealt at the same time (not including first/double strike), so when your creature deals damage to him, his deals damage to the deathtoucher and you at the same time.
When the dust settles your opponent's 10/10 creature would have 2 deathtouch damage marked on it - the 2/1 creature would have 1 damage marked on it and you'd be at -2 life.
When statebased effects are checked, both creatures die and you lose the game.
