I suited up Uril with a Runes of the Deus and Battle Mastery. I didn't know what to do, so I came here to ask. Does double strike on a creature with double strike give it quadruple strike? Would I deal double strike damage twice? Thanks!

The best way to think about Double Strike is that a creature with Double Strike deals damage as though it has First Strike and as though it didn't. This makes multiple instances of Double Strike redundant because a creature with First Strike just deals damage before it's regular counter-parts. The actual definition of Double Strike is a lot wordier, and this about the best way I've found that can sum it up.
This can also be seen in the comp. rules:
702.4e Multiple instances of double strike on the same creature are redundant.
Hope this helps!!
