Regarding cards like Spinebiter that say "You may have Spinebiter assign its combat damage as though it weren't blocked.", when/how is that decision made (after you declare attackers, blockers, any point in combat, etc.)? Also, do you literally just say something like "Spinebiter will just deal all its damage to you [the opponent]"? Thanks!

You decide when you’re assigning its combat damage. You just opt whether or not to assign the damage to the player/planeswalker or the creature blocking it.

Thanks for all you do! When the magicthegathering website still had forums, 2 of the threads I frequently visited were the Rules and Keyword FAQ, which were extremely helpful when I was trying to really learn the rules. Now those forums are gone. Do you have a FAQ page like that, or if not have you considered making one? It would be super-helpful as a quick reference while playing.

I don’t have the time to make something like that, sorry.If you poke around the Judge Wiki (http://wiki.magicjudges.org/en/w/Main_Page) you should be able to find a lot of that information.
