Deathtouch vs Protecion

[Dman]

 I'm attacking Akroma, Angel of Fury with Holy Mantle attached with my Vampire Nighthawk with several Exalted counters...
Does the Protection from Creatures rule out both Deathtouch and Lifelink??

Thanks

{Akroma, Angel of Fury}
{Holy Mantle}
{Vampire Nighthawk}

My opponent has Akroma with Holy Mantle. I have Nighthawk...
Does Nighthawk still destroy Akroma?

'Protection from X' protects from combat damage. Deathtouch and lifelink are dependant upon combat damage, therefore neither will trigger.

[Dman]

Thanks, our argument was based off of the 'Any amount' part.

[Bman0121]

No because deathtouch states that the creature has to deal damage and the akroma has protection from creatures inwhich it cant be dealt damage by creatures so no damage dealt equals no deathtouch killing angel

[MisterJH]

0 damage does not qualify as combat damage in any situation, for future reference. If {ornithopter} were to attack for 0 damage you could not have that trigger or effect 'deal damage' effects.

This whole thing is irrelevant. While its true that deathtouch requires damage to be dealt, and it can't be dealt damage, no creature could block her in the first place. Protection covers the following:

D: Damage
E: Equipment/Enchantments
B: Blocking
T: Targeting

Good way to remember it: DEBT. Akroma can't be dealt damage by the creature in the first place, as no creature with deathtouch could block her.

He is attacking with the nighthawk, his opponent has the akroma.

His wording is just odd.

Ohhhhh alright then. You can semi-ignore my statement then lol.
Carry on! Sorry if it caused any confusion.

[Dman]

Yes, apologies for the wording lol I tried to re-state the situation in a later reply. But we got it. Thanks again to all the help :-)
I just wish my Nighthawk could have finished her!
