Deck discussion for Death Touch, Life link right?

If I understand it correctly deathtouch devalues lifelink.
Your better off going for deathtouch and trample, or doublestrike and Lifelink (and trample(and deathtouch))

Yeah sure deathtouch helps enure you at least trade to nuetral favor, but just to be clear if you block a 2/2 with a 3/3 deathtouch, lifelink creature you realize your gunna get 1 life right? where if you left the deathtouch out youd get 3 life

just trying to be constructive btw, I always liked deathouch on trample or deathtouch with 1st strike.

erm no, death touch doesnt decrease the amount of damage i would do...so i would still gain 3 life if my 3/3 death touch lifelink was blocked by a 2/2

hold on . . . 'death touch doesnt decrease the amount of damage i would do' I never thought of it like that before.

When deathtouch was explained me I was given an example that a 1/1 creature would trade with a 5/5 as 1 damage would be enough to kill it. so from there I always thought of deathouch as 1 damage killing the opposing creature with the rest of the damage going nowhere. But what your saying is the remaining damage is still applied to the other creature the same way combat damage always works.

Death touch only makes any damage above 0 to be lethal... So yes a 1/1 death touch can trade with a 5/5 as it only needs to deal one damage due to death touch to kill the 5v5....But if you had a creature with a higher power than 1, say a 2/2.. that creature still does 2 damage, but only needs to do 1 damage, due to death touch

yeah thats clear I just understood it one way and never revisited it thanks for clearing that up.

Back to the deck . . . I like it, is there perhaps a better way to get the deathtouch? the bow only gives it to attackers and I see you have vigilance in there it would be nice if your creatures had non conditional deathtouch. I take it Archetype of Finality is to high on the curve.

I noticed the high end value of the deck, well done on making a true high rollers deck for standard.
