The damage guttersnipe deals from his ability, does that count as combat damage? if so I have a rather evil combo in mind

no it does not. combat damage is only dealt by "attacking" creatures during the ?Damage step? (im not really sure what its called but yea.) all other damage is just damage.

Actually, combat damage is any damage assigned and dealt by attacking or blocking creatures during the turn-based actions of a combat damage step.

Damage from abilities can never be considered combat damage.

Also, questions like this are best asked in the Q&A.

That's fair enough. We just try to keep questions pertaining to card rulings and interactions in the Q&A because it cleans everything up. We have several rules gurus who frequent the Q&A and will help you fairly quickly whenever you ask a question.
