Incorrect damage calculation or cheating during MH3 draft.
I had a Springheart Nantuko bestowed onto a It Hearlds the end. In total, I had 6, It hearlds the end on the field, so all of my colorless creatures were getting +6 +6. I was at 5 life.
My opponent played a Nixborn Hydra bestowed onto a Nightshade dyrad for +8. Its total power and toughness was 9/10. My opponent attacked, despite my massive board state, and I blocked with a 10/11. There was a pause after blocks were declared, my creature died (deathtouch), but the hydra came through for 8, killing me.
Is there some sort of weird interaction with deathtouch, bestow, and trample? Did it bug? Or did they cheat? At the end of the game none of my board was showing no buffs from it heralds the end.

Nothing special, no. Just the normal interaction of deathtouch with trample. Since any amount of damage is lethal due to deathtouch, a trampling attacker can trample over a blocker by assigning only 1 damage to that blocker, subsequent blockers also only need 1 damage assigned. The rest can trample over.
