Created for Challenge # 122. This is interesting because deathtouch creatures are most potent when left back as blockers. Heir of the Wilds encouraged you to attack with your 2/2 deathtouch bear. This card takes a more red approach to it: it forces you to. In return, you get another good black keyword to go along with deathtouch.
I think "deathtouch on attack" is really different to "deathtouch", it should almost be a different keyword. I'm just considering if "deathtouch, can't block" is sufficiently different to "deathtouch, must attack", but I think it is, at least some of the time, and I really like the RB flavour.

I like it.

Good point. This is pretty similar to one of Thrill-Kill Assassin's modes. That's why I added lifelink.
Hmm, but this discussion actually suggests a different card: Enraged Scorpion.
