Interaction with Berserk vs. Vigilance + Flying? [Solved]

I was wondering if anyone can tell me if this is a bug or this is intended (or should it be intended):

Opponent has a flying, vigilance creature out.

I had a non-flyer out. I gave it berserker and first strike, thinking that since the AI's creature had vigilance, it'll still block my creature (and it can live).

Unfortunately, my creature when straight for the PW.

Is this the correct interaction? I would've thought that since there's vigilance, my creature would be blocked. It seems that by putting Berserker on it, the non-flyer attacking into flyer won out, and the Vigilance didn't kick in.

Just wondering what is the intuitive thing / the actual thing. (I'm just a bit pissed off since my expectation of "my creature will kill the other one" but then it didn't costed me the game).

    does your creature have anything like menace?

    Typically a creature with Vigilance will block any attack. However if there are other cars affects in play, IE menace or a support or spell that would make a creature unblockable, the creature with Vigilance would not be able to block the attack.
    If it were possible to view battle logs outside of the current battle you could see if you might have missed or forgot about a certain card that was in play.

    Thanks. You guys were right. It was a Demolition Stomper. Sorry for the post!

    My own fault for not checking properly. *sigh*

    No problem. Just glad it's not another broken card.
