This is unbelievable. I hope those FoWs won't be too expensive.

That's what it looks like ATM.

OK, let's walk through this step by step. First, from the Comprehensive Rules, the full text of Deathtouch:

702.2. Deathtouch

702.2a Deathtouch is a static ability.

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.

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.

702.2d The deathtouch rules function no matter what zone an object with deathtouch deals damage from.

702.2e If an object changes zones before an effect causes it to deal damage, its last known information is used to determine whether it had deathtouch.

702.2f Multiple instances of deathtouch on the same object are redundant.

Declare Attackers Step: Khalni Hydra is declared as an attacker.
Declare Blockers Step: Glissa, the Traitor is declared as a blocker.
Combat Damage Step, First Strike: Glissa Deals 3 Damage to Khalni Hydra.
Combat Damage Step, First Strike, State Based Actions. 702.2b applies in this instance. Since the Khalni Hydra has taken any amount of damage in the combat step, it is placed in the Graveyard as a State-based Action.
Combat Damage Step, Regular: Since Khalni Hydra is no longer on the field or in combat, it does not do any damage to Glissa or to the player.

Hopefully this helps.

Quote from RCarlysle

Not saying he deserved it. Just saying I don't know why he's so surprised. He left upwards of $50,000 in stuff in his car. If I saw $50,000 in cash just hanging out I'd pick it up in a heartbeat and not think anything of it. (Granted the money would have to be in a briefcase and in a public area, not so much locked in a car.)

Either way, he had his stuff just hanging out and thought 'OH WELL ITS MAGIC LOL!' and lost his stuff.

Its not his fault, but he didn't do enough to prevent it. I'm just saying he may be smart, just not filled with common sense.
