Double strike

[Kuberr]

Doesn't hexproof say that the creature canny be the target of SPELLS OR ABILITIES the opponent controls?

[scarsabrex]

double strike doesn't target... attacking and blocking do not target.

Double strike, I know I should know this but, if a creature has it and it's first hit kills it does the other strike go through, without having trample ability, or does the block stop it all together

It kills the blocker. And then stops. As only one target is legal. Unless it had trample.

Now that I think about it, if the first strike is enough to destroy the blocker, does the second strike not happen? Or would it smack the dead blocker again? For the sake of lifelink.

Of course, 'cause those are the only times you TARGET things.

Get your head out of the book and think outside the box.

If I were going to block someone out of a large group of people. I'm going to choose one by TARGETING them. Lol words don't need to be there to say what it does.
