In Magic: The Gathering, the first strike ability allows a creature to deal combat damage before creatures without first strike. This means that a creature with first strike will deal its damage in the first combat damage step, potentially defeating or weakening an opponent's creature before it can strike back.
In Magic: The Gathering, creatures with first strike deal combat damage before creatures without first strike during the combat phase. When blocking, a creature with first strike can defeat a creature without first strike before it has a chance to deal damage.
In Magic: The Gathering, when creatures with first strike battle, the one with first strike deals damage before the other. If the first striker's damage is enough to destroy the opposing creature, it won't get to deal damage back. This can give the first striker an advantage in combat by potentially eliminating the opposing creature before it can strike back.
When a creature with double strike attacks in Magic: The Gathering, it deals damage twice during the combat phase. The defending player must assign blockers before the first strike damage is dealt. If the creature with double strike is blocked and survives the first strike damage, it will deal damage again during the regular combat damage step.
