In Magic: The Gathering (MTG), blocking damage works by assigning creatures to block attacking creatures during combat. The blocking creature's power and toughness determine how much damage it can prevent. If the blocking creature's toughness is equal to or greater than the attacking creature's power, it will survive the combat and prevent damage. If the blocking creature's toughness is less than the attacking creature's power, it will be destroyed and the excess damage will be dealt to the defending player or planeswalker.
In Magic: The Gathering, when a creature is blocked by multiple creatures, the attacking player must assign damage to each blocking creature in an order of their choice. The attacking creature deals damage equal to its power to the first blocking creature until it is destroyed, then any remaining damage can be assigned to the next blocking creature, and so on. This mechanic allows for strategic decisions in combat situations.

The mechanic "first strike" in Magic: The Gathering allows a creature to deal damage before creatures without first strike during combat.

It may require players to adjust their blocking strategy to minimize the impact of double strike creatures on their own creatures or life total.
