Goldhound rulings
If an effect refers to a Treasure, it means any Treasure artifact, not just a Treasure artifact token.
Even when it is on a creature, Treasure is an artifact type and not a creature type. Similarly, Dog is always a creature type and not an artifact type.
Since Goldhound is a creature, its
ability can't be activated the turn that it enters the battlefield or the turn a player gains control of it unless it has haste.
Goldhound keyword rules
First strike Rule 702.7
First strike is a static ability that modifies the rules for the combat damage step. (See rule , “Combat Damage Step.”)
If at least one attacking or blocking creature has first strike or double strike (see rule ) as the combat damage step begins, the only creatures that assign combat damage in that step are those with first strike or double strike. After that step, instead of proceeding to the end of combat step, the phase gets a second combat damage step. The only creatures that assign combat damage in that step are the remaining attackers and blockers that had neither first strike nor double strike as the first combat damage step began, as well as the remaining attackers and blockers that currently have double strike. After that step, the phase proceeds to the end of combat step.
Giving first strike to a creature without it after combat damage has already been dealt in the first combat damage step won’t preclude that creature from assigning combat damage in the second combat damage step. Removing first strike from a creature after it has already dealt combat damage in the first combat damage step won’t allow it to also assign combat damage in the second combat damage step (unless the creature has double strike).
Multiple instances of first strike on the same creature are redundant.
Menace Rule 702.111
Menace is an evasion ability.
A creature with menace can’t be blocked except by two or more creatures. (See rule , “Declare Blockers Step.”)
Multiple instances of menace on the same creature are redundant.
