Okay. here is the situation. I have a card with double strike......lets say Mirrodin Crusader. And then I equipt it with Butchers Cleaver which gives it more power and since he is human it gives him lifelink. so now I have a 5/2 double strike lifelink.
now here is the question I have. If I kill a creature....say he blocks with a 2/2 token of some kind. I know I at least get the 5 life from teh first strike, but do I get lifegain from the lifelink of the second strike even though It didn't deal damage to either player or creature?
I'm thinking not but want to check. since It still technically deals regular damage but nothing gets hit.
I am always excited about core sets. Usually I either love or hate a block set but Core sets are always great..........at least from 2010 onward.
A few things I HOPE that they bring back
Darksteel collosus, Lighting bolt, and Knights. After 2011 Knights just........died. I used to run a great 2010,2011 Mono white Knights/equpment deck but once 2010 went out it took a major hit and then 2011 went out and it was gone completly. and My RDW deck (always have at least one in standard) is much less effective now that Lighting bolt, Ball Lighting and such are out.
Also Core sets tend to be more balanced than blocks.
I have a unique deck that stemed from R/B vampires. Then it simply evolved into a removal/burn with a few good creatures.
Against human tokens I have a ton of removal and burn cards. things like Marrow shards kill of weaklings during an attack phase. Arc Trail can hit two targts at once with 2 mana, shock, gut shot, and giest flame all cost 1 and are pretty consistant killers of weenies. curse of death's hold kicks some major butt against those decks.
and of course multiple people have already stated the sweep cards. though a combo I like is a Yin/Yang deck using both Blood Seeker and Suture priest. get one of each or 2 of either on the field every time bladehold attacks they have to sac 6 life.
