Oracle Text

Deathtouch (Any amount of damage this deals to a creature is enough to destroy it.)

Scavenge 1BG (1BG, Exile this card from your graveyard: Put a number of +1/+1 counters equal to this card's power on target creature. Scavenge only as a sorcery.)

Card Rulings

4/15/2013 Exiling the creature card with scavenge is part of the cost of activating the scavenge ability. Once the ability is activated and the cost is paid, it’s too late to stop the ability from being activated by trying to remove the creature card from the graveyard.
