So if Silverblade Paladin and Wild Beastmaster swinging while paired would that make Silverblade Paladin swing for three at first and then for four finishing the double strike ability? would like this answered from a judge if possible.

You don't need a judge for this question.

Wild Beastmaster only attacks once - when it's declared as an attacker. Having double strike doesn't mean a creature attacks twice, only that it deals combat damage twice (once each in two different steps). Therefore, Wild Beastmaster 's ability only triggers once per combat.

Correct, Wild Beastmaster swings for 1 double strike and Silverblade Paladin swings for 3 double strike

@hollandboys: That is incorrect. OP appears to be asking whether Silverblade Paladin will get the bonus from Wild Beastmaster twice. This is not the case; the ability only triggers and resolves once.

Perhaps I shouldn't say incorrect; your answer was correct, but it doesn't address the question.

Wild Beastmaster 's ability triggers when she attacks, but doesn't count up her power to determine X until it resolves. After the triggered ability is put onto the stack, everyone gets a chance to respond before it resolves. This is your last chance to play Giant Growth on Beastmaster if you want X to be bigger when her triggered ability resolves.
