deathtouch + "deals damage equal to creature's power" is broken
I've now played 3 games against decks using this exploit, which is not (I believe) cards as intended.
Effects that read "deals damage equal to creature's power" like Ram Through and Devouring Tendrils should NOT read for the player's creature's deathtouch, it should just deal damage equal to the number in the box.
deathtouch + "deals damage equal to creature's power" is broken.

The problem is that the spell deals the damage, not the creature. When it says "dealing damage equal to", it is not the same as the creature dealing damage the way the cards are worded.

Dear NoseFlautist,
Please note that DeathTouch states :Any amount of damage this deals to a creature is enough to destroy it.
The effect reads "DEALS DAMAGE equal to the creature's power." The power is not relevant anymore. Anything above 0 will be enough to destroy the opposing creature.
Hope this helps!Kind regards,
Rovado
