Hobbling Zombie rulings

  • Decayed represents a static ability and a triggered ability. "Decayed" means "This creature can't block" and "When this creature attacks, sacrifice it at end of combat."

  • Decayed does not create any attacking requirements. You may choose not to attack with a creature that has decayed.

  • Decayed does not grant haste. Creatures with decayed that enter the battlefield during your turn may not attack until your next turn.

  • Once a creature with decayed attacks, it will be sacrificed at end of combat, even if it no longer has decayed at that time.

Hobbling Zombie keyword rules

Deathtouch Rule 702.2

Deathtouch is a static ability.

A creature with toughness greater than 0 that’s been dealt damage by a source with deathtouch since the last time state-based actions were checked is destroyed as a state-based action. See rule 704.

Any nonzero amount of combat damage assigned to a creature by a source with deathtouch is considered to be lethal damage for the purposes of determining if a proposed combat damage assignment is valid, regardless of that creature’s toughness. See rules –d.

The deathtouch rules function no matter what zone an object with deathtouch deals damage from.

If an object changes zones before an effect causes it to deal damage, its last known information is used to determine whether it had deathtouch.

Multiple instances of deathtouch on the same object are redundant.
