Protection of the Hekma & Ajani ult interaction
Asked by Toodz111 6 years ago
If I have Ajani Steadfast's emblem and also Protection of the Hekma, how much damage would I take from a source of damage from an opponent?
Do I take 1? 0? Do I choose which one i replace the damage with?
Thanks in advance...

Either 1 or 0.
From Gatherer on Ajani Steadfast:
7/18/2014: If multiple effects modify how damage is dealt, the player being dealt damage or the controller of the permanent being dealt damage chooses the order to apply the effects. For example, Dictate of the Twin Gods says, If a source would deal damage to a permanent or player, it deals double that damage to that permanent or player instead. Suppose you would be dealt 3 damage while Dictate of the Twin Gods is on the battlefield and you control Ajani's emblem. You can either (a) prevent all but 1 damage first and then let Dictate of the Twin Gods's effect double that, for a result of being dealt 2 damage, or (b) double the damage to 6 and then prevent all but 1 of that damage.
You choose the order of the replacement effects. You can either:
a/ Ajani first, preventing all but one damage, then Hekma, reducing damage to 0.
b/Hekma, first reducing the say Lightning Bolt from 3 to 2 damage, then Ajani will reduce it to 1.
