[INDENT]Declaring Blockers now includes lining them up.
[INDENT]Another simple one, and it's exactly how it sounds. Once the defending player has declared blockers, the attacking player will take any creatures that are grouping up to block a single attacking creature and line them up in an order to receive damage. Before the second creature can be damaged at all, the first must be assigned lethal damage. This works like trample in that it takes into consideration other damage being assigned and other damage already on the creature.[/INDENT]
Dunno whether this is important enough to include in your summary or not.. but if a blocker has the ability to block multiple attackers, then the defending player lines up those attackers in the same way that the attacking player lines up blockers.

Mmm, right, I'll include a mention about that.

One "terminology" change that you might want to include would be RFG->Exile since it is also a functional change.
No longer can the Wishes fetch cards from that zone since the Exile zone IS within the game whereas the old RFG zone was considered outside of it for the Wishes.
I'm just a Pigment of your imagination.

Mmm, true that. I'd forgotten. Will add.

Do you mean a link to the original announcement? If so, here is the URL:
[indent][noparse]http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/Article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/feature/42a[/noparse][/indent]
Hyperlink to the rules page.

Note: Creatures in combat having first strike or double strike will still result in an extra combat damage step being inserted before the regular one.[/INDENT][/INDENT]
I'm just trying to interpret this. Does that mean that you can cast spells between the first strike and the regular damage step? Or that there just regular damage gets dealt after an SBE check goes though?
I ask because in Duels of the Planeswalkers, you can't cast anything in between.

You'll be able to play spells during the first strike combat damage step, after the first strike damage has been dealt.

Not a big deal but there is a typo on the 3rd line of the 2nd paragraph under Combat Changes You have "as described above for the attacke lining up blockers." Attacke should be attack I believe also above that line you have "When one creature block multiples," block should be blocks.

Whoops, thanks. Will fix (though 'attacke' should be 'attacker,' not 'attack').

Don't use DotP as a reference for any rule; if you have a question, come ask.
