Kwende Redcap Heelslasher backup not giving double strike
I had Kwende (give first strike units double strike) out and played Redcap Heelslasher, putting the backup counter on my Dusk Legion Duelist and giving it first strike for the turn. I attacked with it, assuming Kwendle would give the unit double strike. This caused me to lose the unit.

Had the same bug with Kwende and Redcap Heelslasher plus random dork (Karsus Depthguard). I believe it showed double strike, but only attacked once with first strike.

Similar situation for me, Boon-Bringer Valkyrie not giving double strike with Kwende in play during Play In games. Log attached

I just had the same thing happen. I'm lucky I still won that game.

This is almost certainly a bug (although layers are one of the trickiest parts of MtG rules)
From Kwende's Gatherer entry - If a creature you control gains first strike after Kwende has entered the battlefield, that creature also gains double strike. (2018-04-27)
