death touch
In my quick draft event, I had diamond weapon played which has "immune - prevent all combat damage that would be dealt to diamond weapon." It fought a creature with death touch and died. Shouldn't that damage not have been dealt and therefore not died?

A fight is not combat. Any damage dealt in a fight is NONcombat damage, which Diamond Weapon does not prevent.
Combat damage is ONLY the damage attacking and blocking creatures assign and deal in the combat damage step's turn based action of assigning and dealing combat damage . ALL other damage is noncombat damage, even if dealt during combat by an attacking or blocking creature.
