swords and double strike
Asked by Wizard of the Damned 14 years ago
If I equip a Mirran Crusader with Sword of War and Peace and deal damage to my opponent with both strikes from the crusader, would the sword's ability trigger twice?

It does, but what first strike and double strike do is create two separate damage steps in the combat phase. First strike and double strike creatures do their damage in the first step, then effects get resolved, priority passes etc. Double strikers and creatures without either of these abilities deal damage in the second step.

Yes. The ability triggers whenever it deals combat damage to a player, and double strike hits them twice.
