deathtouch + 1 power = only killing one creature.

You kill everything with allure then the ghoul comes back, cast biorhythm putting them at 0 and you at 1

deathtouch only is lethal if damage is done.

better combo would be {somberwald vigilante} + {deadly allure} + {biorhythm}
Title: Re: Expensive, but effective
Post by: AgrusKos on August 25, 2012, 11:17:25 PM
I thought even 0 could be done

I guess I have to be the one to point out that {Deadly Allure} =/= {Lure}.

Only one creature needs to block a Deadly Allured creature, not every creature.

Even if they fell for it you wouldn't kill more than one creature. Assigning zero damage is equivalent to not assigning damage at all, therefore deathtouch wouldn't trigger. Rule 119.8 I believe. Came across it while looking for something else and remembered this thread.

And, hypothetically, even if you could assign zero damage, since it would not be lethal damage, you would only be able to assign it to one additional creature, assuming the first creature only had one toughness.

One of my favorites in my old Golgari deck was {Biorhythm} and {Netherborn Phalanx} for the win.
