Nah, deathtouch is cool and all, but it doesn't work on indestructible creatures. Deathtouch can take down just about anything by dealing at least 1 point of damage, but 'indestructible' means the creature isn't taking the L from damage of any kind. So, in a face-off between deathtouch and indestructible, indestructible stands tall.
Hot take: Everyone thinks deathtouch is the ultimate, but indestructible creatures just laugh in the face of deathtouch. Not today, death.
