Ok, just need to see if this is legal.
I have thornbite staff equipped to a Incandesent Soulstoke.
and two Harbingers (Currently 2/2's)
now my opponent has three Goldmeadow Stalwarts (Two 3/3s)
I attack with my Two Harbingers and he blocks with Two Stalwarts
Now Can i tap Soulstoke and deal one damage to The third stalwarts, as those two creatures die and then uptap Soulstoke, deal another one damage to the third stalwart and so on and so on untill i am tapped and no more creatures go in to the graveyard.
Cheers in advance ^__^

SpookzZ,
The phrasing of your question is very poor :P
In short, the answer is no.
In long... You're attacking with a
Incandesent Soulstoke
which is currently a 2/2 with some wacky abilities from the
Thornbite staff
.
Your opponent is blocking with (if i'm understanding correctly) Two of his three 2/2's. Yes, you can tap to deal 1 damage to something. But it's not enough to kill anything. When damage resolves from the stack (depending on how damage was assigned) Your soulstoke will have had 4 damage assigned to it and die when state based effects are checked. My recommendation here (assuming you have 4 mana available is the following)
Edited for my retardedness
Hopefully that wasn't too confusing to you.

Hmmz
yes sorry about the the bad explanation.
I will try again
Ok
I have
Incandesent Soulstoke
which is a 2/2 with
Thornbite Staff
attached to it.
i have two
flamekin harbinger
out with our both 2/2 (+1/+1 from
Incandesent Soulstoke
and four mountains untapped
my opponent has Three
goldmeadow stalwart
Three 2/2's
I attack with my two
Flamekin harbinger
he blocks with two of his
Goldmeadow Stalwart
Now normally they would just trade and we would be left with one creature each
but when declares blockers
can i tap two mountains and tap
incandesent soulstoke
deal One damage to his third
Goldmeadow Stalwart
(the one that didnt block)
then as our creatures go in the the grave yard i can uptap and tap the
incandesent soulstoke
so basically what im asking is do the creature stack when they go in the graveyard.
so in the this instance i would be able to play the ability from the
Thornbite staff
Five times?
i hope that a little better explained ^__^

Much better explanation this time. The answer is Yes. Each creature going to the graveyard will trigger the staff once. Each of those triggers will go on the stack. In between each of them resolving you (assuming you have the mana to do so) can activate the staff to deal damage.
