Ok that clears up the issue I was having. The reason for this was because I was wondering if you gave double strike to a creature with flanking if it gave it a instance 2 -1/1 to a creature instead of just one
Ok so from what I understand about double strike is that it give a creature a first strike then a normal attack. Now this means that in combat, creatures with first and doublestrike deal damage first and then the regulate damage is delt. If a creature is assigned to block a double striker and does not have double strike itself it is Delt first strike damage and then regulare damage. What I would like to know is during this is the blocking creature consider to have blocked twice? Once against the first strike and then once for regulare combat damage.
Now I have a question. since cipher effect is a encoded on a creature can the same creature be encoded with multiple ciphers effects, and if so can it be off the same effect from the same card giving a double effect.
Example: I have invisible stalker(1/1 hexproof, unblockable) out and i cast paranoid delusions( target player mills three, cipher). I encoded invisible stalker and the next turn cast another paranoid delusions. Can I place a second cipher on invisible stalker and will the effect double for being encoded twice?
