My turn, before combat.
Opponent:
- Giant Scorpion 1/3
Me:
- Giant Scorpion 1/3
I cast Hunt the Weak selecting both Scorpions. In response to Hunt still on stack I cast Giant Growth on my Scorpion.
After Growth resolution, my Giant Scorpion was 4/6, as expected.
Now Hunt the Weak resolves and…they both go to graveyard?! :O
Fight mechanic is not dealing combat damage.
Deathtouch mechanic is combat damage and (its deadliness) should not be counted for Fight.
The outcome should have been that the oponents Scorpion should have died because of 4 dmg received and mine should have just 1 damage on his 6 toughness (and should have been able to attack for 4).
Right?
Seems like a bug in DOTP 2014 🙁

No mention of combat damage here.
