Note: Only creatures with double strike or first strike share in this segment damage. In the second phase - in handing all attackers and blockers damage - adds your creature again to a point of damage.

Ability - hurry (Haste)

Ability - First Strike (First Strike)

As with the effect double whammy, a second battle segment is introduced for the first strike ability. Located at the beginning of the fight at least one attacking or blocking card with these effects in the game, creatures with first strike or double strike are the only creatures that harm in the first segment. In the second segment, all attackers and blockers follow.
Example: You attack the creature "Mastiff Warclamp." And your opposite blocks with a 1/1 creature token. In a normal fight, both creatures of each other would inflict damage. Result: Both are destroyed. Now your creature has first strike. This means that the "Great Dane me war crockery" adds its damage first.
