Does double strike work in a fight in MTG?
Definitely! In MTG, double strike means the creature deals both first-strike and regular combat damage. However, in the context of a 'fight' effect from a card, double strike doesn't work like it does in combat. 'Fight' makes two creatures deal damage equal to their power to each other simultaneously, so the double strike ability doesn't grant any advantage here since it doesn't apply to the first strike damage phase outside of combat.

Having used double strike creatures in many a deck, here's the deal: Double strike is fantastic during combat for dealing early and regular damage, but when it comes to fighting (card effect where creatures deal damage to each other), you're out of luck. The extra punch from double strike doesn't count there.
Nope, double strike doesn't give you an edge in a fight. 'Fight' spells or abilities just have creatures deal damage equal to their power to each other at the same time. So, double strike鈥檚 cool and all during combat, but it's just a regular punch in a fight.
