MTG: Lifelink Timing Question?
Hypothetical so no rush here.
Setup: I have Tithe Drinker (2/1, Lifelink, Extort) and Archangel of Thune (3/4 Flying, Lifelink, When you put a +1/+1 counter on each creature you control) on the battlefield. My opponent has 1/1 chump blocker.
Situation: I attack with my Tithe Drinker and my opponent blocks with his 1/1. Does the Tithe Drinker live?
I think what will happen here is Tithe Drinker will deal its two damage while taking one from the chump. The linklife will then trigger since the Tithe Drinker dealt damage causing the Archangel's ability to trigger on life gain and give the Tithe Drinker a counter before it would die since I would have til the end of the combat damage phase to keep it from dying. Resolution being my Tithe Drinker is 2/1 with a +1/+1 counter takes 1 damage and deals 2 to the 1/1 chump blocker.

You are incorrect.
You do not have until the end of the Step to save the creature. Every time pretty much anything happens, the game will check for state based actions such as something being destroyed before moving on to the next Step *or* giving any player Priority. So your Tithe Drinker will die before the Arcangel's ability even goes on the Stack, let alone resolves to give the counters.
