Deathtouch is a static ability in Magic: The Gathering (MTG) that fundamentally changes battlefield dynamics. It allows creatures or spells with the ability to deal lethal damage to creatures, regardless of the amount of damage dealt or the other creature’s toughness. Deathtouch is a static ability that enables any damage dealt by a creature to be lethal.
Thematically, deathtouch in Magic often represents venomous bites and stings from vermin or insects, which are small but incredibly deadly. Deathtouch ensures your creature takes down your opponent’s creature in combat. A creature dealt damage by a creature with deathtouch is destroyed, and the 1/5 will die because it was dealt damage by a creature with deathtouch.
Deathtouch is a mechanic that translates to “whenever a source with deathtouch deals any amount of damage bigger than zero to another creature, that creature…” It means that if your creature deals damage to another creature, that creature is destroyed. This means that if your attacking creature is blocked, or you block, that creature is destroyed. Deathtouch is a static ability that can appear in games as one of MTG’s evergreen mechanics, showcasing the flavor of venom, poison, or deathly gaze.
