Deathtouch Attacker with Multiple Blockers
Opponent attacked with 2 Preacher of the Schism (2/4 deathtouch). I blocked both with 4 (2/2) artifact token creatures, 2 each. The Preachers should have killed the first 2/2 artifact creatures, trading 2 dmg then been killed by the second artifact creature with those second creatures surviving. Instead, 1 damage was distributed to each artifact creature along with the deathtouch procs and all 6 creatures died.

I missed the 2 in front of Preacher of the Schism. Now the "2 each" & "all 6 creature" makes sense.

The way I read this is that he blocked two 2/4 deathtouchers with two 2/2s each. And in that case sparksfamilyvalues gave the correct explanation for what happened.

Combat damage is assigned in order of blockers, and only once lethal damage has been assigned can damage be assigned to the next blocker.
Deathtouch causes any amount of damage to be considered lethal, so your opponent only needs to assign one damage to each blocker.
