Triple strike is a static ability featured in Unstable.[1][2]

Description[ | ]

Triple strike allows a creature to deal combat damage during both the First strike, the normal Combat Damage Step and the Last strike.

History[ | ]

The idea for triple strike was discussed by R&D prior to its release in Unstable. Mark Rosewater tried to put Triple Strike into Future Sight on a future-shifted card and was stopped by the Magic rules Manager at the time, Mark Gottlieb, due to rule rewriting issues.[3][4][5]

Even after its release in Unstable, Mark Rosewater believes it is unlikely that Triple strike (and Last strike) will become eternal.[6][7]
