How does Ajani Steadfast emblem and something with double strike work?
Asked by apple41792 10 years ago
Lets say I have the emblem, If my opponent attacks with say a Fabled Hero would I only take 1 damage or 2 since it two different sources of damage? Thinking I would take 2 but want to double check.

You would take 2 damage. It's still only 1 source of damage (a source of damage is an object that dealt damage) but the Fabled Hero is dealing damage twice: once in the first strike combat damage step, and once in the "normal" combat damage step. In each step, the damage would be prevented all but 1.

Well, it's just a single source of damage, but it's dealing damage to you two different times. A creature with double strike deals combat damage in both the "first strike" damage step and the "normal" damage step of combat. Each time it does this, the Ajani emblem will reduce the damage to 1. You're right, you end up taking 2 damage.
