Charging Badger + Archetype of Finality + Knight of Glory

Asked by Warxuaroz 10 years ago

I have a Charging Badger and Archetype of Finality on the field and my opponent has Knight of Glory attacking. I block with the Badger. Since its origin is black, does the deathtouch effect work, or not?

Your creature with deathtouch is green. It doesn't matter that the ability was given by a black source, the source dealing damage with deathtouch is green (not black)

No, and for 2 reasons.

Archetype of Finality is worded such that Charging Badger has the deathtouch ability.

Protection prevents deathtouch by the merit of it preventing damage. It doesn't stop death-touch directly. even if the killing ability was the ability of the archetype, i.e. "whenever a creature you control deals damage to another creature, kill that(the other) creature" protection wouldn't apply.

@Sam_I_am

With how his question is worded, I think you mean "Yes, deathtouch still works", not "no".

@goblinslnc it was more of a "no, knight of glory is not immune to it"
