Does Hexproof stop Deathtouch?

No, hexproof will not stop deathtouch.

Hexproof simply prevents it from being targeted by spells or abilities. Deathtouch isn't a targeting ability; it makes damage lethal regardless of the creature's toughness. Only indestructible can stop a deathtouch creature from killing another with combat damage.

Lifelink works as normal even if the lifelink creature deals damage to a creature with hexproof, ward, or shroud. This is because the lifelink ability doesn't target the creature itself at any point but rather directly gains you life.

How do I block Deathtouch?

A 1/4 deathtouch creature is blocked by two vanilla 3/3s. Since the deathtouch creature assigns only one damage, its controller has to essentially choose which creature it kills. The first creature it deals damage to is the only creature it deals damage to, so only one of the blockers will die.

Does First Strike stop Deathtouch?

Creatures with deathtouch deal damage during the regular combat damage step. Fortunately, if you block a creature with deathtouch with a creature with first strike or double strike, your creature will deal damage during the first strike damage step, before the deathtouch creature can return fire.

What does Hexproof prevent?

Hexproof protects against any spells or abilities that target. It doesn't protect from a specific color, card type, or effect, but from the word “target.” Whenever a spell or ability would let a player choose a target, permanents and players that have hexproof are protected from that targeting action.

Does protection override Deathtouch?

The short answer here is yes. Protection from black, for example, will prevent all damage dealt by black creatures and spells to whatever has that protection. Deathtouch means that any amount of damage counts as lethal damage. But if that damage is prevented, then it won't do anything to the creature being protected.

Is Hexproof immune to Counterspell?

Nope, the counterspell targets the creature spell, which doesn't have hexproof.

Can you counter Hexproof?

Yes, you can. Unless otherwise stated, abilities on a creature only apply when they are on the battlefield.

Does Hexproof stop proliferate?

Neither hexproof nor shroud or ward do anything against proliferate. The rules text specifically uses the word choose instead of “target.” Since you're not technically targeting anything, neither of these abilities work against it.

Is Deathtouch only combat damage?

Deathtouch checks any damage—not just combat damage.

(See why hexproof is so polarizing?)

What kills indestructible MTG?

What is the Hexproof rule?

Does shroud cancel Deathtouch?

Because deathtouch does not target, shroud won't save a creature from deathtouch. Instead, the shroud creature will just be dealt damage normally and be destroyed as a result. Remember, dealing combat damage isn't an ability.

An indestructible permanent can be exiled, returned to a player's hand, put into a graveyard for having 0 or less toughness (via anything that gives -X/-X for example), or sacrificed.
