Official rulings

  1. A creature that's both a Skeleton and a Zombie will get the bonus only once. (2018-07-13)
  2. Death Baron doesn't normally affect itself. If you manage to turn it into a Skeleton, however, then it will give itself +1/+1 and deathtouch. (2018-07-13)
  3. Because damage remains marked on a creature until it's removed as the turn ends, nonlethal damage dealt to a Skeleton or Zombie you control may become lethal if Death Baron leaves the battlefield during that turn. (2018-07-13)
