Official rulings

Two official rulings apply to Hordewing Skaab, newest first.

  • If some of your Zombies have first strike but others don't, or if you have a Zombie with double strike, the ability will trigger twice, the first time counting the number of opponents who were dealt damage in the first strike combat damage step, and the second time counting the ones who were dealt damage in the second combat damage step.
  • The number of cards you discard is equal to the number of opponents that were dealt combat damage by your Zombies, even if another effect changed the number of cards you drew.
