Deathtouch kill own creatures?

Asked by I_H8_U_M8 9 years ago

Just curious since I havn't had the chance to use this sort of interaction. If I have a Typhoid Rats that I use to block then cast Arcbound on my Typhoid Rats does the deathtouch kill all creatures or just my opponents :P

It's Arcbond, not Arcbound by the way.

Let's say you had Typhoid Rats block a Grizzly Bears and before damage cast Arcbond on Typhoid Rats. Everyone passes and you move to damage. 2 damage is dealt to Typhoid Rats which triggers the Arcbond. Because the wording says "it deals damage" Typhoid Rats is still the source and it deals 2 damage to every other creature and 2 damage to each player. Because it is damage from a deathtouch source, any amount is lethal to creatures.

So yes, every creature, including yours, would die.
