What does deathtouch mean in magic the gathering?
Deathtouch is a static ability, like trample or flying, that reads, "When this creature deals damage to another creature, destroy the creature that was dealt damage." For example, if you have a 1/1 creature with deathtouch blocking an 8/8 creature, then your creature will deal 1 damage to the attacking creature, and vice versa. Your creature will die because it was dealt enough damage to kill it, but your opponent's creature will die as well. This ability also works when you are attacking or using an ability that deals damage to a creature, such as Pestilence Demon.

Trample allows excess damage from a creature's attack to be dealt to the defending player or planeswalker. When a creature with trample attacks a creature with protection from the attacking creature's color or type, the trample damage is prevented and does not go through to the defending player or planeswalker.
What happens when a creature with first strike and death touch attacks in combat?
When a creature with first strike and deathtouch attacks in combat, it deals its combat damage first due to first strike. If the damage dealt by the creature is enough to destroy the defending creature, the defending creature is destroyed without dealing damage back. This is because deathtouch means that any amount of damage dealt by the creature is enough to destroy another creature.
