Combat rules answer
My 2/2 double striker blocked their 2/2 first striker — who dies?
Answer
Both creatures die. The engine puts each creature in its owner's graveyard and leaves neither on the battlefield.
Why
With these stats and abilities, neither creature survives the combat.
The resolved board has both creatures in their owners' graveyards.
