ummm... did they change the wording for deaththouch?
you have to deal lethal damage to a creature before you can target another one right?
does that mean you can assign one damage to a creature and consider it lethal damage then and target a different blocker?
well, the more practical and easier to see question is, what happens when i give this thing trample?
the wording for deathtouch seems to suggest that i can assign 1 damage to a creature with...
lets say 5 toughness, and consider it as leathal damage
so instead of having to assign all three points of damage to the blocker
can i now assign one to blocker, consider it as lethal damage, and be free to let the extra two land in my opponent's face?

@ Shell shokkun:
Doesn't work that way. You can divide the damage of a multiple blocked creature with deathtouch any way you want to among the blocking creatures (like 1 to each blocker). This does not help you with trample though. When you assign 1 combat damage of a deathtouch creature to a blocker with more than 1 toughness, that's not considered lethal damage.
In short: death touch helps killing creatures. It does not help you trampling over to your opponent though.

@Erik
Great change dude, 3/5 is perfect and well costed. Hes not overpowered and anything less then he is now he would be underpowered. He is an intimidating creature and very appealing to new players. Even as a competitive player, I consider him over acidic slimes just because he hits harder, and has so much more survivability.
