Deathtouch
Whenever a creature you control with deathtouch attacks, each opponent loses 1 life and you gain 1 life.
Whenever a creature you control with deathtouch deals damage to a planeswalker, destroy that planeswalker.

This could be a legit deck in standard. Both mono black and B/G. Doesn’t specify combat damage so now Questing Beast can kill any walker with his damage trigger and Porcuparrot can be used to gun down planeswalkers. This thing could be a legit top tier card.
I wouldn't mind a new ability called Ultra Death that can kill planeswalkers. Toxic Death. Death Hammer. Death Grab. Death Grasp. Death hold. Deaths hold.
Something death that kills planeswalker.
I doubt it would be unique and relevant enough to be keyword alongside deathtouch. More likely they would either errata deathtouch or replace it with a planeswalker-killing version. I don't think that's very likely either though.
Deathtouch is under rated cause the creatures that have it usually are not playable, questing beast excluded of course.
The other ones are usually 1/1s or 2/2s with no other abilities so they're relegated to draft boys in which they are quite strong, but not in constructed.
I think this guy can be a player of rakdos sacrifice decks don't dominate the meta in the future, if they do then this guy will be a $1 rare.

Please, mill me. Mill my important cards. Mill my lands. Mill it all. Because I will still deal 20 damage before you can mill 45 cards most every time.

Yeah, at some point they need to replace death touch. As it's under powered now for the current game. Just like they replaced shroud with hexproof.
Or Regenerate with Indestructible.
The last two were done because they were cleaner mechanics though rather than power level. Tbh I'm kind of on board with deathtouch killing planeswalkers, it would give the ability some attacking utility which is the real reason it doesn't do much in constructed, that it's a defensive ability, in constructed if you are on defence and blocking you are normally losing unless there's some recurring mechanic going on.
As for the card it feels fine on paper. It is virtually guaranteed to trade for a card, not sure where I can ever actually see it seeing play though.
Looks like annoying 1/4 roadblocks at 3 CMC are a running theme in this set, between the Spider that makes Saprolings, the 1/4 flying vamp with lifelink and this guy, suddenly attacking with 2 bears to force damage through starts to soundlike a bad idea. Just my kind of Limited card, I want this in my prerelease together with the new Stuffy Goblin. Go ahead, attack me:D

And to make it even better with the walkers It doesn’t say ”combat damage” you know what that means
Pingers with deathtouch that can shoot any target can instantly kill walkers
