If a creature has loophole, and defensive acumen is active, even if it's health is larger than another creature's attack, which by defensive acumen is equal to attack, loophole still only effects the actual damage stat of the creature, so if I had a merchant'sguard with 1 attack, 50 HP and loophole, and defensive acumen is active, and I attacked with said merchan't guard, if your creatures have a higher attack than 1, loophole will remain effective, so it will be unlockable, but due to defensive acumen, I would then deal 50 direct damage.

Get it to high hp, get defensive down with loophole and swing.
It's very hard to get a card high enough to insta kill with loophole on it, so it's not a huge problem

Yeah this is loophole working an indented. DA doesn't replace your attack, it just shifts where the damage comes from

A good way to deal with defense acumen decks is to look for weak points in their line up. Get 1 or more creatures health equal or below their attack. Once your opponent has less than 3 creatures with this status, the defense acumen will disappear
