Eh guys, I was playing at Games Haven last weekend and faced a situation with double strike. My opponent had a creature with double strike and I had a blocker. If I block it, does my blocker still take damage from the second strike? I thought it should, but my friend said otherwise. Can someone confirm how this actually works? Also, is there any judge I can contact for more clarity? Thinking of heading to the Singapore Open, don’t wanna mess up my plays there.
Bro, I feel you! Double strike can be quite confusing lah. So, if your blocker survives the first strike, it won’t take damage from the second strike if it dies in the first. But if it’s still alive, it will take damage again. Just check with the judges during the Singapore Open, they will give you the correct ruling for sure. Good luck, don’t stress too much!
I had a similar issue at Grey Ogre Games last month! It’s always good to ask the judges there, they are super helpful. Plus, they usually have a judge at events like the Malaysia Championships. Just don’t forget to bring your deck list and all that, so they can assist you better. Weather been crazy lately, don’t let it mess up your game plan, okay?

Hey there! Double strike can be a bit confusing, but I can help clear it up. When your opponent's creature with double strike attacks, it deals damage in two separate steps. If you block it, your blocker will take damage from both strikes, so yes, your blocker will indeed take damage from the second strike as well.

As for judges, you can usually find them at local game stores like Battle Bunker or during bigger events like the Malaysia Championships – they’re super friendly and willing to help.

As for judges, you can always reach out to the folks at your local store like The Hive or GameStart; they usually have judges on hand during events who are more than happy to explain the rules.
