Assign 2 dmg to the Sage, 2 to the Priest, and 4 to the Atog. All of your dmg is going on my Ram. Pass priority.
 

Oversoul

The Tentacled One
My Battering Ram also has banding. While I like your suggestions, I think I'll actually go with a slightly different distribution: 1 to the Sage of Lat-Nam, 1 to the Priest of Yawgmoth, 3 to the Yotian Soldier, and 2 to the Grapeshot Catapult.

Unfortunately, a Battering Ram only gains banding when attacking. So while I like your suggestions, I'm gonna have to go with my dmg assignations :)
 

Oversoul

The Tentacled One
That's what I get for looking at the Oracle version of the wording. I don't know why they'd make it less clear than the original (didn't notice the "your" or even think about the whole combat phase thing being in the text, but "bands while attacking is pretty impossible to misinterpret). In that case, I'll go with your damage distributions and activate my Amulet of Kroog to prevent 1 to the Atog, sac the Amulet to give the Atog +2/+2, and unless you have anything further, the Sage and Priest die.

I'll sac my Ram to my Atog for giggles, but yeah, your assessment of the results of combat is correct.
