Errr... I'm pretty sure Deathtouch doesn't kill it if it takes the damage after it has been shelled out and dealt to the player first (since the state is checked before the damage is assigned to the player. Empyrial Archangel is not blocking the creature, and deathtouch has no effect the player, so the damage is assigned normally to the Archangel in the same way that it would take Infect damage as normal damage because it would become poison counters on a player, but it's state is as damage against a player, rather than -1/-1 counters on the Archangel. The source hasn't changed, but the damage is all funneled in together as ususal before being deat to the player, and then assigned to Empyreal Archangel, meaning that the state-check has already occured.

@Zoah
Comprehensive Rules 616.1: "If two or more replacement and/or prevention effects are attempting to modify the way an event affects an object or player, the affected object's controller (or its owner if it has no controller) or the affected player chooses one to apply"
So you get to choose which one takes the damage.

All you need to do is beef her up with auras and other enchantments and you are all good

I think all goes to one of them of your choice. After "all damage" was dealt to one of the angels, there's no more for the other one. And I don't think you can split.

Since the Angel has shroud, you can't target it with most damage prevention effects, so can you prevent damage that would be done to you before it's redirected to the Angel?

pretty much anything with deathtouch would be the only way to get rid of this card.

I thought this would work but my friend thinks it won't heck i'm kinda questioning it, I have Mark of Asylum out plus EA now if someone initiates combat and i let the damage come through and then its redirected to me is it still considered combat damage or just regular damage redirected towards the angel because the combat was to me this is assuming that EA doesn't block the creature or anything will Mark of Asylum prevent that damage from being dealt because i think its non-combat damage because the combat is to me not EA but the damage is just redirected to the Angel, question is would Mark of Asylum prevent the damage or not? Please explain why if you can to clear this matter up.
