Deathtouch creatures vs this guy. Should damage dealt inflict the -1/-1 and then the deathtouch effect yield another -1/-1? If so, it's not working.

    In paper MTG, deathtouch isn't an additional trigger which kills a creature after it's been damaged... it just means that the damage dealt to the creature is treated as if it's lethal.

    Not that that's necessarily anything to go by... I mean why make a Magic the Gathering game that works like Magic the Gathering? If they did that, we might know what our cards did before we bought/played them, and that seems contrary to the spirit of this game.
  • I don't think deathtouch triggers another -1/-1 effect on the undergrowth, after the first -1/-1 effect triggers on damage deal step. This makes my malakir familiar not happy.
