Deathtouch Question

Say my opponent controls an {Empyrial Archangel}, and I attack him with an {Ambush Viper}. Does the damage kill the angel?

Thank you for any responses.

I'm pretty sure, yes it would kill him because it's the same damage from the viper and the viper has dt. Jester will be here in a few to correct me of I'm wrong

Yes? Since it says any amount of damage destroys creature and ur angel just redirects it to itself. Not quite sure on that

Have more self-confidence you two. You're both right. The source of the damage is the Viper, and the redirection doesn't change the source. One dead angel. X-P

Thank you everyone

I don't think so. The archangel says that any damage that would be dealt to you is dealt to the angel instead. But, it does not state that the creature would deal damage to the angel. So, I do not think that the angel would die.

Ruling states that it redirects thw damage

I don't feel like opening a new topic, but does lifelink stack?

You mean if you had a lifelink creature? and then attached {Lifelink} to creature with lifelink?
If so then no

I am pretty sure it does. U will have 2 seperate triggered abilities if u added lifelink to a creature with lifelink so it will stack.

Runningtables · February 28, 2012, 11:04:58 PM

Sorry i am wrong i just read lifelink is no longer a triggered ability it is now considered a static ability and it does not stack.

I saw it on the starter set for shards I think it was and it said something about exalted lifelink with {Rhox War Monk} so it piqued my interest.

BadLuckIrish · February 28, 2012, 11:08:12 PM

Now if you attached {Lifelink} to a {Sunhome Enforcer} then its basically double lifelink since the Enforcer is a triggered ability

BlackJester · February 28, 2012, 11:22:57 PM

Lifelink Doesn't stack. It doesn't use the stack either. It's a static effect.

Stacking in the sense of a 1/1 having lifelink and then lifelink again with say, {Baskalisk Collar} , you wouldn't gain 2 in any circumstance?
