First Strike Mechanics

New • 04 Apr 2019 • Asked by ilgreven • 26 Comments

How much functional difference is there between "As long as it's your turn, ~this~ has first strike" (as seen on a few spoiled WAR cards) and "~this~ has first strike as long as it's attacking" (as seen on Soltari Lancer from Tempest)?

It matters on the few cards that care about something having first strike, but in most functional ways, they’re pretty similar.
