In Magic: The Gathering, when a creature with first strike is blocked by multiple blockers, it will deal its combat damage before creatures without first strike. This means it can potentially defeat one or more of the blockers before they have a chance to deal damage back.
When a creature with double strike is blocked, it deals damage twice in the combat phase - first during the first strike damage step, and then again during the regular damage step. This means it can potentially deal damage to the blocking creature twice before the blocking creature can deal damage back.
