Furthermore I would like to suggest you search this website for "double strike" and read through all questions and answers and try to understand it.
You would probably know the answer then — Ivo Beckers. Specifically, you should definitely look at the Basic Rules. It has pretty clear explanations of all the basic stuff, and a glossary of terms. I just looked, and there's not even an example of multiple blocking creatures. For now, the M14 Basic Rules are still available and probably much more helpful. Edit source History Talk 0. Double Strike. From the glossary of the Comprehensive Rules September 24, — Innistrad: Midnight Hunt Double Strike A keyword ability that lets a creature deal its combat damage twice.
See rule Double Strike After that step, instead of proceeding to the end of combat step, the phase gets a second combat damage step. The only creatures that assign combat damage in that step are the remaining attackers and blockers that had neither first strike nor double strike as the first combat damage step began, as well as the remaining attackers and blockers that currently have double strike.
After that step, the phase proceeds to the end of combat step. It has been an evergreen keyword basically ever since, due to how cool its design is. So the combat phase with double strike looks like this. A card with double strike will assign combat damage in the first combat damage step. Then, it will deal damage again in the regular combat step along with all other creatures as normal.
So if you attack or block with a creature that has double strike, that card will deal damage first and will not take into consideration any damage being dealt by the opposing creature.
If two creatures have the same power and toughness, the creature with double strike will destroy the other before it has a change to hit back. However, with double strike, that changes. First, Fireborn Knight deals 2 first strike damage to Caged Zombie.
Then during combat, it deals 2 damage to Caged Zombie again, which only now deals its own damage. This amount of damage kills the blocker. Double strike works the same way when attacking a player directly.
Double strike creatures block and are blocked normally. Blockers are assigned at the start of combat. I only control the double strike creature Fireborn Knight. I can block either of the attackers, but not block both them. They could if they want to, but they could just block my double strike attacker with either creature or, maybe, none at all.
Either way, my Fireborn Knight can only attack one creature. Furthermore, first strike and double strike do not stack. A creature with both abilities will just deal damage as though it only had double strike. Your email is only used for updates and email-based ad targetting. Ads keep this site free! See my First Strike Explained article for more about first strike. An equal match so far? Not really. Each creature deals 2 damage to the other at the same time, before all other creatures.
However, afterwards, Fireborn Knight deals 2 damage again to Anaba Bodyguard because the former has double strike, while the latter only has first strike. Anaba Bodyguard is destroyed while Fireborn Knight which has only taken 2 damage overall survives. If both the attacking and blocking creature have double strike, they face off in both combat steps.
Then in the regular combat step, they woul deal another 2 damage to each other and both would die. A creature with deathtouch allows a creature to instantly destroy any creature it deals damage to. Usually, with those stats, both creatures would survive. Instead, Hooded Blightfang destroys my blocker by dealing it just 1 damage. Double strike plus deathtouch allows a creature to instantly destroy any creature it deals damage to in the first combat step — before the blocking creature has a chance to deal any regular damage itself.
