Combined card effect issue
I played the card Tail Swipe that makes two cards fight each other. I chose my card Glissa Sunslayer that has first strike and deathtouch to fight against a card that doesn't have first strike neither double strike, but had a greater power than the toughness of my card. During the animation of the fight, my card don't take any damage, as is expected, but it dies, what's totally unexpected.

First strike and double strike only work for combat, because those abilities add a second combat damage step to the combat phase, and dictate which creatures get to deal combat damage in which step. A fight isn't combat, so neither ability works in a fight. The creatures simply deal damage to each other, at the same time, hence while your Glissa died.
