For this i would say we have to look at the ability Lifelink. Lifelink lets you to gain the damage dealt by the creature in life, and when a 5/5 lifelinker kills a 3/3, you still gain five life. So yes, i believe the creatures controller would take the amount of damage dealt to the creature.

hm, that sounds reasonable...that is a very sick combo then =] lol

Greatbow Doyen has a ruling which states "The ability will trigger whether the damage is combat damage or not."

So really you guys are OVERthinking this. Jagged-scar archers is an archer type creature that says "T: Do X damage to Y creature with flying" and Greatbow Doyen says "When an archer-type creature you control does damage to a creature, do that much to it's controller as well."

So yeah your combo does what it says on it's face.

to clarify further, ANY creature may be DEALT any amount of damage at any one time

a 1/1 can take 1, 2, 3, 10, 100000 damage as long as its dealt at once, and therefore as such any damage related effects will take that number, NOT simply the amount it takes to deal lethal damage to the creature
