Spiteful Squad
Creature — Human Warlock
Deathtouch
This enters the battlefield with two +1/+1 counters on it.
When this dies (is put into the graveyard from the battlefield), put its counter on target creature you control.

I think I'm not explaining myself well.
My central thought is that + does not equal . Red might not get deathtouch, but green has full access to it. Why should a red/green card not get deathtouch simply because red doesn't get deathtouch?
White doesn't get deathtouch either, but Arvad the Cursed, Spiteful Squad, Wintermoor Commander, and others have deathtouch. This can only be provided by the requirement.
doesn't get first strike. Sky Spirit, Leap of Flame, Deft Duelist, and others all have first strike provided by their other colors.
Ergo, a color can provide one of its abilities to a card, even if another color can't.
can provide first strike to a card, even a card, with Neheb, the Worthy, Stromkirk Captain, and Halana and Alena, Partners.
can provide deathtouch to a card, as shown by Needlethorn Drake, Winged Coatl, and Venomthrope.
So why is unable to provide deathtouch to (and ) cards? Is somehow better at removal than these colors?
I promise I'm not asking these questions rhetorically, or in anger. I genuinely don't fully understand. And as I was writing this response, I realize my position hearkens back to GDS3 and the infamous flying vigilance question. To which I respond that since that question was asked, Warrant / Warden was printed, and still no vigilant flyer.
And I think I've derailed this enough. If anyone wants to help me out, start another thread and I'll respond. With my apologies, let's get this back to the many faces of Gruul in Commander.

Aquastrand Spider, Drakestown Forgotten, Eidolon of Countless Battles, Entropic Specter, Golgari Raiders, Kalonian Hydra, Nighthowler, Phantom Centaur, Scrounging Bandar, Sewer Nemesis, Shanna, Sisay's Legacy, Skyshroud War Beast, Spike Feeder, Heliod, Sun-Crowned, Spiteful Squad, Sutured Ghoul, Swarm Shambler, Towering Titan, Undergrowth Scavenger, Workhorse are some of the better options I can think of for the deck.
Spike Feeder + Heliod, Sun-Crowned actually does infinite life.

I can't find a card named "Spitfire Squad". Assuming you mean Spiteful Squad, no. It does not target as a spell, so Killian, Ink Duelist will not reduce its cost.
