Ah, Deadly/Alpha Strike. Welcome to comboville! If a minion gets to attack first and its attacks kill regardless of damage...
Of course Armor or another ability could prevent the damage and keep Deadly from triggering, and another Alpha Striker or ability could still manage to retaliate in combat, so it's not completely unbeatable.
I believe this interaction exists in M:tG as well, but don't take that to mean that all the rules between similar card games should blindly carry over; I found out about an interaction between Deadly and Overrun facsimiles that a couple of games handle completely differently than Mythgard.
