First strike is an evergreen keyword ability that changes the rules for combat by adding an additional combat damage step.

Description

A creature with first strike deals combat damage before creatures without first strike. The ability usually represents a creature's exceptional speed or prowess; or possession of long range weapons, such as spears, lances, or bows. The most common creature types to have first strike are Knights and Soldiers.

History

First strike has been in Magic since the original Alpha set. [1] First strike has appeared in all colors, but is primarily placed in white and red. It is tertiary in black. [2][3]

Fresh Faced Recruit from Guilds of Ravnica is R&D experimenting with creatures that just give first strike offensively.[4]
