Me and my brother had an argument on double strike last time we played.
My winding wurm with rancor , venomous fangs attacked and I had rage reflection on the battlefield.
My brother blocked with a small creature (a 2/2) and thought he would avoid 8 points of damage in doing so.
My question is: If a creature with trample (thanks to rancor) and double strike gets blocked and the blocker is destroyed after the first strike, does the normal attack still hit the defending player?
If the normal attack still hits: my brother would then have suffered 14 points of damage.

Poor Rage Reflection, its the only Reflection that can not be cumulative

Giving all your creatures double strike is one of the best feelings ever. Combine it with Primal Rage or Gruul War Plow and a Boartusk Liege or two. You've assembled a legion enhanced by Runes of the Deus!

I want to see an EDH match with this, Furnace of Rath, Gisela, Anthem of Rakdos, and a whole string of World at War, Savage Beating and Relentless Assault cast. Just because.

While it does still fit the theme of the Reflection cycle, it would have been more fitting to say "If a creature you control would deal combat damage, it deals twice that much damage instead".

@Manite: That would be pretty much strictly worse than both Rage Reflection as it is and Wound Reflection.
As it is, I don't like how Wound Reflection feels better than this for red. Red is a color known for non-creature damage, so doubling creature damage only doesn't feel particularly red when there's a double all damage in another color. Not really sure what would be a good effect for Black if Wound Reflection were moved into red, though.

The rules text is perfect Miltonian iambic pentameter. This is quite a bomb in English Poetry Limited (cards whose flavor text is written in metre). Especially since half your creatures are probably vanilla :P
