death touch vs planes walkers
Asked by Mustangmachine 11 years ago
If a creature with death touch deals combat damage to a planes walker, does the planes walker die?

Although if the planeswalker was animated and dealt deathtouch damage (for example, Ambush Viper blocks an animated Gideon Jura while Leyline of Punishment is on the field), then the planeswalker/creature will die because it is subject to the deathtouch effect on creatures.

Not because of deathtouch. Deathtouch damage only affects creatures differently; any deathtouch damage dealt to a player or planeswalker has the same result as normal damage. The planeswalker will only die if the amount of damage dealt was enough to remove all of its loyalty counters.
