Does Deathtouch Go Through Prevent Damage in MTG?
Actually, deathtouch only works if the damage is actually dealt. If the damage is prevented, then no damage was dealt, so deathtouch won't apply. It's all about whether the damage makes it through the prevention shield.

Yep, deathtouch totally goes through damage prevention in MTG. Deathtouch means that any amount of damage is enough to destroy a creature. So, if your creature with deathtouch deals damage to another creature, but that damage gets prevented, it doesn't matter - the creature still gets destroyed because of deathtouch. It's like saying even a pinprick from deathtouch is lethal!
Can confirm from many games, deathtouch is awesome and it does work through prevent damage effects. Had a game where my tiny deathtouch creature knocked out a big tough one because of this rule. The opponent wasn't too happy about that, lol.
