This doesn't work. Damage redirection is a replacement effect, so each will only kick in once.

So, if the creature is dealt damage, Treacherous Link kicks in and redirects the damage to you - then Pariah sees that happening and redirects it back to the creature. Treacherous Link has already been applied, so can't happen again and the creature takes the damage.

Same the other way round, if you would take damage, both replacement effects happen, and you take the damage anyway.

Would you mind posting the official rules? That doesn't seem right to me.

Zark is absolutly right. as he stated redirection effects is a type of replacement effect. replacement effects only occur once. here is the rule

614.5. A replacement effect doesn�t invoke itself repeatedly and gets only one opportunity for each event.

the damage is still the same event just redirected twice
