    "Today we're going to be discussing Magic: the Gathering the card game.Now we're going to give an example of the combat phase. Combat phase starts during a person's attack phase. My attack phase during my turn and I elect that I am going to attack all the way across the board with the 1/1 Elvish Handservant, the 4/5 Elvish Aberration, and the Jagged-Scar Archers, which have power and toughness equal to the # of Elves I control. There are 1, 2, 3 Elves in my possession so he is a 3/3. On the other side. My opponent has a 1/1 Boneknitter. A Soulless One, Zombie Avatar, which has power and toughness equal to the number of Zombies in play. There are 1, 2, 3 Zombies in play, because I don't have any Zombies. So, he's a 3/3 and a 1/1 Carrion Feeder. At this point in time, that I declared attacking, then there is the blocking phase and the combat phase continues as the opponent decides if he's going to block."
