The deathtouch/lifelink combination of abilities (This, Basilisk Collar, Vampire Nighthawk...) are the exact opposite of winmore. They do nothing if you're winning, but if you're losing they cushion your life total and help your board. While they have no interesting interactions, they still make a powerful and fun pair. Plus, you know, life/death.

While this card is on the apex of 'win more', I have to disagree with DaLucaray a bit. Deathtouch is always useful in any point in the game, and if you need to get that last kill through in your enemy's defenses, it's a great thing to have. Lifelink is not as central in helping you win, but it'll give you a bit of assurance during a final alpha strike. Of course, this card is also good on the defense, where your chump block becomes a kill spell and your bigger guy becomes a cushion to anything that could get through. 4/5 to me.
