{thorncaster sliver} + {bow of nylea}
I don't see it... What am I missing?
all creatures have deathtouch so when they attack they can target each creature with 1 damage an kill all the creatures die befor they can block
Doesn't work.
702.2b (http://imtgapp.com/forum/index.php?action=imtg;area=rule;number=702.2b): Any nonzero amount of combat damage assigned to a creature by a source with deathtouch is considered to be lethal damage, regardless of that creature's toughness. See rules 510.1c-d.
Deathtouch only works through combat damage, that is noncombat.

This is correct however not totally accurate for the scenario. It DOES work...
702.2c. A creature with toughness greater than 0 that's been dealt damage by a source with deathtouch since the last time state-based actions were checked is destroyed as a state-based action. See rule 704.
Deathtouch works for all damage dealt. It's why {Niv-Mizzet, the firemind} and {basalisk collar} work so well...
And {goblin sharpshooter} and {basalisk collar}
And more!
Oh! This is new to me. Pardon my French.
Similar to the Polukranos + bow combo
I prefer {Deathbringer Thoctar} and {Basilisk Collar}
Kill the opposing army and have no loss in counters!

+1. Also thorncaster ability says when this creature attacks it deals 1 damage... Sliver is attacking so bow kicks in giving deathtouch
