If my opponent has Archetype of Courage on the field, then I play Archetype of Courage, do I gain First strike and he loses First Strike or do we both lose First Strike.
Please provide info on why what would happen, Thanks.
Neither player will get first strike. Whenever the archetype tries to give first strike the opponent's second ability steps in and prevents them from gaining it.

You both lose first strike. The card says "Creatures your opponents control lose first strike and can't have or gain first strike." So when an opponent plays this it forces all of your creature to lose first strike and be unable to gain it again. You then play your archetype which would give your creatures first strike, but it can't since your opponent's archetype does not allow your creatures to gain first strike. But this also forces your opponent's creatures to lose first strike.
There was mention of this in the article from WotC that spoiled the cycle.
