Yes! Eldritch Blast requires a ranged touch attack.
EXCEPTIONAL DEFLECTION [EPIC]
Prerequisites: Dex 21, Wis 19, Deflect Arrows, Improved Unarmed Strike.
Benefit: The character can deflect any ranged attacks (including spells that require ranged touch attacks) as if they were arrows.

i mean seriously... does the term "Any" carry meaning at all still?
