Drogskol Reaver's ability

Asked by my_gizmo 12 years ago

So Drogskol Reaver has double strike, life link, and when you gain life you draw that many cards. If he gets chump blocked, will I gain 6 life and draw 2 cards? or will only the first combat damage go through and give me 3 life and 1 drawn card?

And a different question is: when Evil Twin enters the battlefield and copies a creature that has an ETB effect, will that effect trigger? Ex: can I bring Evil Twin in as a copy of an opponent's Fiend Hunter and then use the ETB effect to exile another creature?

If the creature blocking him dies during first strike combat damage, then you'll only gain 3 life and draw one card. A creature with double strike is still considered blocked during regular combat damage, even if the creature blocking it is gone before then. If it had trample on the other hand, then the "unblocked" damage would go through to the player and you'd get 3 more life and another card.

Yes, the Twin is a Fiend Hunter when it ETB, which is when triggers are checked, so it's ability would happen.
