What it does
Skulk (This creature can't be blocked by creatures with greater power.)
Deathtouch (Any amount of damage this deals to a creature is enough to destroy it.)
Rulings
2 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.
- 2016-04-08
If you cause a creature to have 0 power or less, use the actual value (which may be negative) to determine whether it can block or be blocked. A creature with skulk and 0 or less power most likely won’t be blocked, but it won’t deal combat damage and won’t trigger any abilities that trigger when combat damage is dealt.
- 2016-04-08
Skulk matters only as blockers are chosen. Modifying either creature’s power after blockers are chosen won’t cause the attacking creature to become unblocked.
Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.
