i remember when silverblade paladin was in standard my friend would wait to soulbond until he attacked with giest of saint traft and give the angel token double strike
My preferred DS would be on Bonescythe Sliver. There's nothing quite like playing The First Sliver, cascading into Bonescythe and then swinging with a 7/7, 5/5 and 4/4 flying, haste, double strike, shroud, indestructible. I would have swung with more, but I needed to tap them for mana. Slivers, taste the other end of the rainbow :)
I'm surprised that Battle Rage isn't in the top 3. It is also super good with Kiln Fiend and Manamorphose. Let's you oneshot people on turn 2 in modern. Boros Charm is also pretty good with Kiln Fiend.
Markov Blademaster is one of my very favorite creatures ever... she hits, gets bigger, then she fucking hits again! People I dueled when she was in modern tended overwhelmingly to forget that's what happens when she swings! Coupled with the vampire spam behind her in my Rakdos-colored bloodsucker aggro deck, I frequently saw her swing on turn 5 for 8+
Dragon Tyrant, it's my first rare ever. Hefty price of 8 and 2 red for a 6/6 flying trample double strike and firebreathing but you must pay 4 red every turn. Big beasty for scourge block but god damn he was good
No mention of Rafiq's unique status in Commander/EDH? *If you play a 1v1 game in the commander format, neither player is allowed to have Rafiq as their commander. You can have him in the deck, or as your commander in multiplayer, but not as your commander in 1v1.
Most cards that give double strike to your whole team do it at too great a cost. 5 Mana is a ton. The fact that they ask you to have decent sized creatures in play in the first place is a problem. I think the final nail in the coffin for onslaught is the fact that only attacking creatures get the buff, so it is completely useless if you are behind.
@@NizzahonMagic Gotcha, I guess that makes sense. I feel like it could probably still be good as a finisher after a strong board state is established, but I'm guessing it's tough to pull off. Also, thanks for the response, and I like your videos!
Nizzahon Magic , well now I have to sub so I can see your 10 worst creatures with double strike! Is it the mana cost and upkeep? I’ll agree that’s pretty hefty. But you do get a 6/6 flyer with trample, double strike, and fire breathing. I’d love to hear the reasoning behind it.
It's even named in the least confusing way, double strike as in "has both first strike and a normal strike." No wonder evergreen keywords still get reminder text.
No mirran crusader?
TuNDrAsPalace Woops. Not really sure how I missed that one. Should definitely have made the list. Mistakes were made!
TuNDrAsPalace where is Samut too? I mean that card lets you run wild
the lists are about gp and pt top 8s which samut does not have since samut is not playable in constructed
Nizzahon Magic
How many points did the Crusaders accrue?
He's in the first mtg deck I ever made :D
Νοpe
Your videos never belated.
Your content’s underrated.
As a newcomer to Magic, its history I enjoy.
I’ve watched so many of your videos, oh boy.
Thanks! And nice poem.
Two reasons I love Friday. Pay day and Nizza top 10's.
i remember when silverblade paladin was in standard my friend would wait to soulbond until he attacked with giest of saint traft and give the angel token double strike
Swiftblade Vindicator. I know she's bad, but I love her.
Fabled Hero is one of the best double strike and three drop creatures ever. So many game ending combos. Surprised it's not mentioned.
Favorite creature with double strike? Probably Ghostblade Eidolon.
...
I like my casual Bant Bestow deck, okay?
2:11 I see you're doing double strikes in the narration of this video too
number 10 is back in standard yay
I got to meet the guy the created double strike a couple of years ago, he is a pretty nice guy
my fav keyword, timmy and johnny in me are super in love with DS

Let's you oneshot people on turn 2 in modern.
Boros Charm is also pretty good with Kiln Fiend.
Could you do the top 10 wizard. That would be awsome.
Honestly, yea. All the new wizards being released. Just do tribal for a while, hahaha.
Could you please show the prices that would be cool. Keep up the good videos!
Prices change a lot. Just google it.
Do a top 10 of level up cards
allviper I think that last would be pretty small, not a lot of level ups or top 8s for those carda
Was 100% sure Mirran Crusader was going to be top 3. I see you somehow forgot him though.
Markov Blademaster is one of my very favorite creatures ever... she hits, gets bigger, then she fucking hits again! People I dueled when she was in modern tended overwhelmingly to forget that's what happens when she swings!

I would like a see a top 10 of "Cannot be countered". A very powerful ability, but it still manages to show up on a fair number of cards.
Dragon Tyrant, it's my first rare ever. Hefty price of 8 and 2 red for a 6/6 flying trample double strike and firebreathing but you must pay 4 red every turn. Big beasty for scourge block but god damn he was good
My EDH Odric deck has all the mono-whites on this list and then some. Aven Sunstriker, Arashin Foremost, Mirran Crusader etc.
how has it gone? always been interested but mono white is hard to work
No atarka? As a dragon player, I'm dissapointed...
*disappointed
My favorite double striker is Atarka, World Render :)
Jurojas the Great me too
im suprised kwende pride of fremeref isnt on here great card
Thanks again Nizza!
How did Mirran Crusader not make this list? lol
Savageborn Hydra
I have two Fencing Aces in my Soldier deck.
If all the buffs are on the field, he's a 7/8 for one Plains.
My faves have to be Atarka or True Conviction.
My personal favourite is probably twinblade paladin
Throwing up a tcg mid on each of these would be awesome.
Stoic angle and rafiq were in my bant exalted deck

Nope, these videos aren't really about EDH.
Blood Mist (u) from EMN is badass in Yidris edh
I play Fencing Ace in my EDH deck with soldiers and Odric
Mobilization is great for soldiers also field marshallb
can we all agree that creatures with double strike and prowess can be completely broken in copying burn decks
Assault strobe?
Im surprised that Atarka isn't on this list
I want to make a double strike tribal.
My one favorite Double Striker is Herthfire Hobgoblin. 2/2 Double Striker only with 3 plains/mountains.
another great video! pet Tooki for me :)
+galidroo Haha will do!
My favorite is true conviction although I can understand why it didn't make the list
It's weird hearing them called "creature lands". I've always heard and used the term "man-lands"...
Creauture-lands is what wizards calls them these days. Inclusiveness and all that.
Please do a top 10 creature lands
Is Berserker's Onslaught just not very strong? I'm a bit surprised it's not on the list

Why Fencing Ace over Adorned Pouncer?
The Ace has some Top 8s. THe Pouncer has 0.
Rip Oketra
Yeah, hasn't really taken off -- still lots of time for it in Standard though, who knows.
Cleaver riot :P
Rafiq was my fav commander
Isnt he a bit narrow.
I can obviously see which tactics are possible but in the end it only works with one creature.
Elaborate pls
Where the hell is Dragon Tyrant!
In the trash, where it belongs. It is not even a remotely good card!
Nizzahon Magic It seemed good back in 2006...when I stopped playing lol
@@mattveinykolichuk3298 haha was never good. Sorry!
Nizzahon Magic , well now I have to sub so I can see your 10 worst creatures with double strike!

This list needs an update... Just saying
Fact
top worst keywords or mechanics
Double strike doesn't replace first stike, it takes place before. If you have a creature that has double and first strike then you have a beast.
D The first hit from double strike happens at the same time that first strike does.
D howcome people keep thinking this?
It's even named in the least confusing way, double strike as in "has both first strike and a normal strike." No wonder evergreen keywords still get reminder text.
